Acupuncture works to balance blood sugar and promote weight loss by directly stimulating the pancreas, decreasing systemic inflammation, and regulating the digestive system. Depending on the symptoms present, acupuncture will balance the organ system dysfunction that resulted in the blood sugar deregulation. Many Chinese and Western herbs have been proven to be extremely effective in balancing blood sugar and reducing sugar cravings. Gymenma, cinnamon, ginseng and others have profound blood sugar lowering effects. Research has shown that acupuncture effectively lowers blood sugar and C-peptide levels in diabetic patients.
