Integrative medicine appears to be an effective approach to the overall management of patients living with diabetes. Host Dr. Steven Edelman's guest, founder and medical director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla, California, Dr. Mimi Guarneri, stresses that the more a patient puts in, the more they get out of an integrative medicine program. They discuss an integrative approach to risk modification and disease management focused on reducing stress, improving emotional state, increasing fitness, maximizing nutrition, and reducing dependence on medications.
