Giving care and follow up to these patients in public hospitals and primary health care clinics. In addition to continuing with the modern treatments offered by the specialists of the treated subject. People come to the resources of nature, which since pre-Columbian years, were widely used in the management of many diseases; the well-known and widely accepted community as traditional medicine or herbal medicine. Hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) is directly responsible for the typical symptoms of diabetes. In the first years, glucose levels are not excessively high so diabetes does not present symptoms or are very unspecific and go unnoticed, so that a person can be years with a glucose tolerance disorder and even with diabetes mellitus type 2 without knowing it. Hence the silent evolution of the disease up to 10 or 12 years. This often leads to a delay in the diagnosis.
