What is it with diabetes and all these alternatives to real tried tested documented and true medical advice? ?

There is so much information in this forum about diets, and supplements, and chamomille tea, and all kinds of other homeopathic diabetes cures. Do people really believe in this hocus pocus medicine? Why not see an endocrinologist? Why not take the medication that you are prescribed and then monitor your blood sugar as directed? Diabetes has such awful complications – why mess around with potential complications?
I’m just really surprised with the amount of bad and potentially harmful advice here. My son has type 1 diabetes, and I’ve been to A LOT of classes and support groups and have been involved with JDRF and ADA functions and never ever once have I heard a doctor or educator saying "drink chamomille tea" or anything along those lines as a form of treatment.
