The problem of a growing number of people suffering from different types of diabetes is becoming one of the burning issues in the modern world. That is why it is important to approach this problem from its both ends and pay attention to preventive measures, as well as finding more efficient means of treatment. One of the advances in the modern medicine is the implementation of holistic medicine that aims to investigate the broader context of treating the medical conditions, rather than focus purely on the biological component. Thus, this paper’s objective is to analyze the interdisciplinary nature of the application of holistic medical treatment, to study traditional and modern methods of implementation of the mind-body medicine to diabetes, and investigate the techniques based on the humanistic image, of how to be effective at self-management with diagnosed diabetes.

The objective of the formatting humanistic image for those who are diagnosed with diabetes is to employ various scientific branches, concerned with studying a human body, mind, practices, spiritual and socio-economic life, to ensure the effective functioning of those individuals on all the levels, rather than just treating the symptoms. The psychological and social comfort not only provides the ground for the more self-awareness but also ensures that those individuals are not left out of the workplaces, social life so that they have their guaranteed rights and commitments.
