Diabetes
Regulate it
Chinese and East Asian medicine doctors employ a multifaceted approach to address diabetes and related metabolic disorders, incorporating acupuncture, herbal medicine, and personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Acupuncture, a cornerstone of this therapeutic framework, involves the precise insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of qi [energy], thereby promoting balance and supporting healthy blood sugar levels.
In conjunction with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine plays a crucial role in managing diabetes. Drawing from a rich tradition of botanical remedies, practitioners prescribe tailored herbal formulations designed to regulate blood glucose levels, enhance insulin sensitivity, and alleviate symptoms associated with diabetes. These herbal remedies are selected based on their synergistic effects and ability to address the underlying imbalances contributing to metabolic dysfunction.
Keep it stable
Additionally, with the use of the biofeedback machine, the doctors offer personalized guidance on dietary modifications and lifestyle adjustments to complement acupuncture and herbal interventions. By emphasizing glycemic control through a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and fiber-rich foods, individuals can better manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetic complications. Lifestyle recommendations such as regular physical activity, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep further support metabolic health and overall well-being.
Through this integrative approach, our East Asian medicine doctors provide holistic support for individuals with diabetes, addressing both the symptomatic manifestations and the underlying factors to promote metabolic balance and long-term health.
“My sugar was all over the place and with every blood test it was getting higher. I really didn’t want to be on meds or have to start using insulin like my grandmother. They tested me with the biofeedback machine, gave me acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I’m working on doing my part too. And it has paid off! My A1C is 5.9, it came down from 6.8!”
