Many of these individuals report they have used complementary and alternative medicines (now called complementary health approaches by the National Institutes of Health) to treat their diabetes or its comorbidities. These complementary health approaches include supplements. In this reality, clinicians are encouraged to understand potential issues that may arise with supplement use, know what research is available, and be prepared to guide their patients and answer their questions about supplements and alternative modalities.
