Type 2 diabetes


Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the blood sugar (glucose) level to become too high. 

It can cause symptoms like:

  • excessive thirst

  • needing to pee a lot

  • feeling tired often

It can also increase your risk of serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves. It is a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines, and have regular checkups. 

It is caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. it is often linked to being overweight or having a family history of type 2 diabetes. 

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine have been shown to help improve many types of diseases related to endocrine function. Research has indicated that acupuncture treatment can help to reduce fasting and after-eating blood sugar levels, increase insulin production, and reduce insulin resistance/increase insulin sensitivity.
