Treating Diabetes at Sanoviv

There are 18.2 million people in the United States, or 6.3% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 13 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.



Sanoviv Medical Institute and Health Retreat excels at treating chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes. While traditional Western medical treatments focus on insulin and medications, the Sanoviv approach emphasizes diet, nutrition, exercise, psychological issues and lifestyle modification, all in a beautiful, serene setting.
