Managing Type 2 Diabetes with Functional Medicine

Listen as a Forum Health Clarkston patient discusses her healing journey with type 2 diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce or properly use insulin. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of diabetes, particularly in individuals with obesity, high cholesterol levels, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Whereas traditional medicine manages the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, functional medicine is an approach that emphasizes identifying and treating the root cause of the disease. This approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes, as it can help identify and address underlying factors that may be contributing to the disease, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and environmental toxins.

At Forum Health Clarkston, weight loss and dietary changes are essential components of functional medicine treatment or prevention for type 2 diabetes. Losing weight can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, reducing the risk of complications associated with type 2 diabetes. A healthy diet that is low in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats, and high in whole foods, fiber, and nutrients can also help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of developing other health problems such as high cholesterol.

At Forum Health Clarkston, our treatments are customized to give you an accurate solution without the side-effects of medication. We offer help for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. To begin a nutritional, supplement, and activity guide to help reverse or prevent diabetes, contact us today!
