Document Summary
Online source evaluation for complementary and alternative medicine in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become a large issue in our society. Globally, 171 million people suffered from diabetes mellitus in 2000 and the numbers are increasing (wazaify et al. , The treatment of diabetes through insulin and monitoring blood glucose levels has been prevalent for years but complementary and alternative medicine has been gaining popularity (wazaify et al. , 2011). There has been an abundance of hype about this type of medicine lately and there has been many researches attempting to explore its efficiency. Complementary and alternative medicine can include herbal supplements, massage, exercise and mediation. It is a broad field and it includes almost everything that is not traditional treatment. I have evaluated five selected websites (wazaify et al. , 2011; Khan et al. , 2003; nccam, 2008; healthy-ojas, 2010; cancer tutor, unspecified) and ranked them according to their suitability as an online source and reference.
