TI  - An osteopathic approach to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
PG  - 531-7
AB  - The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has reached epidemic 
      proportions in the United States, the impact of which is seen in all medical 
      practices. The tenets of osteopathic medicine are readily applicable to a 
      proactive approach to patients with T2DM and are (1) the body is a unit; the 
      person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit; (2) the body is capable of 
      self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance; (3) structure and function 
      are reciprocally interrelated; and (4) rational treatment is based upon an 
      understanding of these basic principles. The authors examine the evidence that 
      supports the application of these tenets to the prevention and management of T2DM 
      and cover topics including the removal of noxious stimuli to help the body 
      function optimally; the musculoskeletal system's role in disease prevention and 
      management; the dynamic interaction of body, mind, and spirit, all 3 of which 
      must be addressed to maintain health and limit disease; and intrinsic and 
      extrinsic forces that can either promote or provoke a person's health.
