Acupuncture healing and Diabetes management by Prof. Dr. D.R. Rajesh Verma MD(Acu.), Ph.D.

Acupuncture, the practice of inserting special needles (4-25mm long) into specific areas of the body to stimulate the functions of the organs, is also said to help in the treatment of diabetes. The impacts of diabetic neuropathy may be halted through acupuncture. Also, importantly, treating the pancreas area (through several acupuncture points located all over the body) with acupuncture has been shown to reduce the autoimmune component central to diabetes. In the treatment of acupuncture, diabetics may need to use less insulin. Acupuncture of the ears may also be beneficial for type 2 diabetics to stimulate the nervous system. Acupuncture may trigger the release of natural painkillers and reduce the debilitating symptoms of a complication of diabetes known as neuropathy. Ancient medical texts have recognized diabetes as ‘wasting-thirsting’ for thousands of years, relating it to the consumption of too much rich food. Acupuncture therapy is a common approach for treating diabetes. Research has shown that traditional acupuncture can help manage diabetic symptoms and prevent and manage complications of the disease by:

• Helping to treat obesity , which is the primary risk factor for developing type-2 diabetes. Weight loss (plus increased physical activity) is more effective than drug therapy for preventing or delaying the development of type-2 diabetes.

• Increasing insulin production and improving blood sugar regulation.

• Improving insulin sensitivity.

• Improving blood lipid profile. Dyslipidaemia is common in patients with type-2 diabetes and is responsible for the atherosclerosis and ensuing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.

• Improving blood circulation, thus helping to slow the onset and progression of diabetic circulatory complications.

• Helping manage the pain of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

• Reducing the stress response. Stress hormones such as cortisol cause blood glucose to rise and promote insulin resistance. Stress may play a role in the development of the metabolic syndrome, which often precedes diabetes, as well as increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes itself, and that it can increase the severity of the condition.

• Helping with depression. Depression is common among people with diabetes and affects their quality of life. It may contribute to developing the condition. People suffering from depression cannot take good care of themselves, eat less well, drink more alcohol or exercise less. All of these can make type-2 diabetes worse.

Most people use acupuncture as part of an integrated diabetes treatment plan because they are already using Western medication. Acupuncture can be safely and effectively combined with Western biomedicine and other treatments such as relaxation exercises and herbal medicine. In addition to offering acupuncture and related therapies, acupuncturists will often make suggestions as to dietary and other lifestyle changes that may be beneficial. Eating a healthy balanced diet, taking regular physical exercise, reducing stress and maintaining a healthy body weight can help to prevent or delay the onset of type-2 diabetes and slow the progression of the disease. Working with a supportive therapist can help people commit to these positive lifestyle changes.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Blissmedicare!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
