DIABETES

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is more than just a treatment method; it’s a lifestyle that involves mindful eating and exercise habits. It is also best used in conjunction with western diabetic treatments, especially when it comes to natural, holistic care. In addition, patients who go through diabetic treatments often suffer from pain, stress, and discomfort. All of which can be treated by TCM without the use of strong drugs or invasive surgery.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes occurs when your blood glucose levels (otherwise known as blood sugar levels), are too high. Diabetes can be classified into the following general categories:

• Type 1 diabetes:No one knows what causes type 1 diabetes – diet and lifestyle choices are ruled out. Scientists believe that it is caused by genetics or an autoimmune reaction that stops your body from making insulin. You will need to take insulin every day to survive. You can contract it at any age and there is no definite cure.
• Type 2 Diabetes: Caused by genetics and lifestyle factors, ie. inactivity and obesity. With type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t make/manage insulin well and can’t keep blood sugar at normal levels. If your family has diabetes, it is best to get tested so you can catch the disease early. You can develop type 2 diabetes at any age, and it can be prevented or delayed with healthy lifestyle changes such as losing weight, eating healthy food, and being active.

Benefits and uses of acupuncture for diabetes

Studies have shown that TCM serves as an effective complementary/alternative medicine for diabetic patients. In addition, it is affordable and boasts of little to no side effects. This is why TCM is popular as complementary, alternative medicine for diabetes.

• May reduce feelings of pain

If you have diabetes, you probably know that the condition stems from your endocrine system. These are the hormones that trigger your organs to control your sugar levels. Those that tout the benefits of acupuncture treatment for diabetes cite the fact that acupuncture stimulates endorphins. Endorphins are, simply put, hormones that trigger positive feelings in your body and also block feelings of pain.

• May help regulate sugar levels

Acupuncture may also regulate cortisol, which is a hormone signaling your body to feel stress. Practitioners of acupuncture treatment for diabetes believe that the hormone reaction triggered by acupuncture can help balance the parts of your body that aren’t able to regulate your sugar levels on their own. Additionally, they do this without the risk of harmful side effects, such as those of some pharmaceutical treatments.

 Acupuncture risks and shortcomings for diabetes

There are minimal risks associated with herbal acupuncture used as a treatment for diabetes. But that doesn’t mean this treatment is for everyone. There are some general risks to acupuncture treatment that you should be aware of. Soreness, minor bleeding, and bruises where the needles are inserted are some of the most common side effects. Ensure that all needles are removed before you leave as that could have adverse effects. If you’re pregnant, have a blood disease such a hepatitis or HIV, or have a bleeding condition like hemophilia or vitamin K deficiency, acupuncture is probably not a good treatment option for you.
