Abstract

The global increase in the incidence of diabetes is driving people to seek for a diabetes ‘cure’, especially in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Capitalising on the growing demand, increasing number of bogus claims on ‘diabetes cure’ are available over internet and social networking sites. In this review, two such bogus claims are being reviewed with the half-science behind it. Evidence-based diabetes care is the need of the hour in diabetes management and patients should bring to the immediate notice of their physicians on any false unscientific claims on diabetes cure, so as to verify its authenticity and get clarifications on the same.
