Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.
Sometimes people call diabetes “a touch of sugar” or “borderline diabetes.” These terms suggest that someone doesn’t really have diabetes or has a less serious case, but every case of diabetes is serious.
If you have type 1Diabetes, your body does not make insulin. Your immune system attacks and destroys the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, although it can appear at any age. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day to stay alive.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not make or use insulin well. You can develop type 2 Diabetes at any age, even during childhood. However, this type of diabetes occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.
Treatment of diabetes with acupressure therapies is considered as one of the healthiest ways. These therapies help type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients alike for reduction of medication. In case of a serious diabetic condition, you need to consult an expert before beginning the treatment with acupressure or in case you are already going through other prescriptions.
Acupressure has been confirmed by the researchers as the effective way of treating diabetic condition. The subjects treated with these therapies have shown improvement or positive response. The conventional medicinal philosophy focuses on the restoration of positive energy so that the overall health can be improved. Type 1 as well as Type 2 diabetes is elevated from stress, which is why acupressure proves helpful for diabetics.
The acupressure points will help you manage diabetes symptoms by managing the metabolic process and maintaining the insulin level. Mild pressure exertion on acupressure points along with proper diet and exercise improves metabolism and insulin levels.
