ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic pathological condition, and

its frequency is increasing progressively [1]. Diabetes treatment

is complex because diet and physical activity have the same

importance as drug therapy. Often patients do not appreciate this

important principle. There are also nonconventional treatments

such as acupuncture and light-based treatment. The American Heart

Association and the American Diabetes Association have recently

released their statistics for 2012, which are more shocking than

ever [2]:

• Approximately, 86 million Americans less than 20 years old have diabetes.
