Research looking at using acupuncture , along with conventional treatment, to treat Type 2 Diabetes.

In this research they compared using acupuncture with conventional diabetes drug therapy with just conventional drug therapy. They used a few different acupuncture modalities including body acupuncture, ear acupuncture and laser acupuncture. They found that using the various types of acupuncture was significantly more effective at managing blood sugar and insulin levels than just the conventional drug therapy on it’s own. I have found this in my practice as well, especially so with gestation diabetes.
