Yes, it is possible. You can slowly reduce allopathic medicine n increase homeopathy. Also, follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
