Highlights Of US adults with diabetes, 26.2% reported using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the past year. Among those using CAM, 56.7% used CAM for both treatment and wellness, and 28.3% used CAM for wellness only. Only 15.0% used CAM for treatment only. Those who used CAM for both treatment and wellness had a higher likelihood of reporting “a better sense of control over their health” and “improved overall health and feeling better” when compared with those who used CAM for treatment only.
