Natural Diabetes Support in Greenville, SC
Natural Diabetes Support at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Natural diabetes support at Integrative Health Partners uses evidence-based integrative interventions alongside conventional diabetes management — not as a replacement for your physician's care, but as a complementary approach to improve blood glucose control, reduce medication burden, prevent complications (particularly neuropathy), and address the metabolic drivers that standard diabetes management does not target. Dr. Hendry's integrative diabetes support consistently produces additive improvements beyond what medication alone achieves.
How Natural Diabetes Support Works
Natural diabetes support combines acupuncture (for improved insulin sensitivity, peripheral neuropathy management, and inflammatory reduction), Chinese herbal medicine (particularly huang lian/berberine, which activates AMPK — the same target as metformin), functional medicine investigation (identifying gut dysbiosis drivers, micronutrient deficiencies impairing glucose metabolism, and chronic inflammatory load), dietary guidance, and targeted supplementation (berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, magnesium, CoQ10 for patients on statins).
Conditions Treated with Natural Diabetes Support
Your First Appointment
Bring your diabetes management records: HbA1c history, current medications (metformin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists, insulin), recent labs, and any complication monitoring (kidney function, eye exam, foot exam). Describe your blood glucose control pattern — fasting, post-meal, and variability.
Why Dr. Hendry for Natural Diabetes Support
Dr. Hendry's electroacupuncture research on neuropathy (including his Prisma Health publication on taxane-induced neuropathy) is directly applicable to diabetic peripheral neuropathy — one of the most debilitating diabetes complications.
