Question from Punjab, Pakistan:

Is there any form of treatment (homeopathy) to treat our pancreas so that it again starts to produce insulin? Someone told my dad that there is that particular homeopathic doctor who can treat our pancreas and there will be no need to use any medicine again.

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

There is no homeopathic treatment for diabetes to restart pancreatic function, particularly insulin secretion. If an individual has diabetes mellitus, then one needs diet, exercise, medications to control the blood glucoses. Short of an islet cell or pancreas transplant, medications along with the other modalities are necessary.
