The purpose of this research was to investigate diabetic patients' recognition and use status of CAM(complementary and alternative medicine) on diabetes treatment. 2 general hospitals with over 400 beds in Busan agree to participate in research. The data were collected by an 1:1 interview questionnaires. In study, 227 in patients of the hospital were serveyed on their recognition and use status on CAM. For statistical analysis, t-test, oneway-ANOVA, Chi-square were conducted using SPSS win 10.0. This survey was conducted from January 14st to the April 2st, 2008.

The results are summarized at follows ; 1. The patients had thought that 'medicine'(19.6%), 'auxiliary medicine' (28.1%), 'supplementary health food'(30.8%), 'unscientific treatment'(14.3%) and 'the food causing side effects'(7.1%). The patients that had a high rate in 'a group of job' and 'monthly income more than 10,000,000' showed significantly(p<0.01) higher rate in 'medicine'.

2. The mean score of perception of CAM was 3.17/5.00 for 'interest', 3.42/5.00 for 'important' and 3.34/5.00 for 'need'. The score of 'important' of patients' monthly income under less than 10,000,000 marked a significantly(p<0.05) high score. The score of 'interest' of patients' jobless and monthly income under less than 10,000,000 marked significantly(p<0.01) high scores.

3. Forty eight percent of the patients have experienced to used the CAM. There were no significant differences to the rate of use of the CAM on 'morbidity period' and 'the type of complications'. The patients that had a high rate in 'oral hypoglycemic drugs'(p<0.01) and 'existence of complication'(p<0.01).

4. The patients have experienced to used the CAM that showed the high rate in 'auxiliary medicine' and ‘supplementary health food’(p<0.001). The mean score of the 'interest', 'importance' and 'need' were considerably high (p<0.001) in the people who used it.

5. About 77% of the patients experienced 'vegetable food', 39.7% of experienced 'dietary supplement' and 20.3% of experienced 'animal food'. In addition, it showed that black been of vegetable food was 19.8%, red ginseng of dietary supplement was 13.2% and silkworm of animal food was 8.4%.

6. The patients had thought 'medicine' showed very high the number of use the CAM with 8.22. And 'auxiliary medicine' showed extremely long with about 4 years and 9 months. But there was no significant difference. The number of use of CAM had high on 'the group of high interest', 'the group of high important' and 'the group of high need' but there were no significant differences.

7. The mean score of satisfaction after using the CAM was 3.31/5.00 for satisfaction, 3.58/5.00 for fewer side effects, 3.60/5.00 for psychologic stability, 3.81/5.00 for easy to use, 3.06/5.00 for economical.

8. The high knowledge of CAM has significantly(p<0.05) higher score than the low group in 'Satisfaction, Fewer side effects, Psychologic stability and Easy to use' section. Still using CAM group showed significantly(p<0.001) higher score than not still using CAM group in 'Easy to use', continued to use CAM group appeared significantly(p<0.001) more high score than not keeping using CAM group in 'Psychologic stability'. 9. The number of use the CAM, the group of normal satisfaction showed the highest with 6.1. The period of use the CAM, the group of high satisfaction indicated the longest with approximate 5 years and 5 months, but there were not significant differences.
