Diabetes has become so prevalent that some concerned health care providers and officials have labeled it, along with obesity, as one of the "plagues" of the 21st century. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the number of Americans with diabetes tripled between 1960 and 1990, then doubled again between 1990 and 2000.

Although there are several types of diabetes, the most common form is type 2, which results when the body either does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that allows glucose to enter cells) or fails to utilize insulin properly. Approximately 90 percent of all people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Left untreated, it can case a wide range of related health problems, including heart disease; blindness; kidney failure; nerve damage; and poor blood circulation.

U.S. newspapers continuously report the increase in the number of individuals among all age groups who suffer from diabetes.

How can acupuncture help diabetic patients?

Diabetes is caused primarily by dysfunction of the pancreas. Scientific studies and clinical tests in international research centers in the past 10 years* have shown that acupuncture can help diabetic patients in the following ways:

lower blood glucose content;
lower the release of pancreatic glucagons;
attenuate symptoms of polyphagia (the urge to eat too much), polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyuria (excessive passage of urine);
prevent slowing of motor nerve conduction;
improve microcirculation and myocardial contractility;
enhance blood outflow and regulate vascular peripheral resistance;
exert anti atherogenic, antioxidant and immunomodulating effects;
obliterate antheroscelerosis of the legs;
induce secretion of endogenous beta-endorphin;
elevate a lowered pain threshold; and
increase cell proliferation and neuropeptide Y levels.

BRIEF HISTORY OF CHINESE MEDICINE AND DIABETES
Chinese medicine owes its current stature to the long history of its practice, dating back more than 2,000 years in a form similar to that utilized today. Chinese physicians appear to have had a reasonably good understanding of diabetes since ancient times. In one of the oldest books about Chinese medical theory, the Huangdi Neijing , compiled around 100 B.C., the condition known as xiaoke is mentioned. This is translated today as diabetes or diabetic exhaustion. The literal translation of the term is emaciation-thirst, referring to the disease manifestation when it has gone untreated: namely, one loses body weight despite eating normally, and thirst is persistent. According to this ancient text, the syndrome arises from consuming too much fatty, sweet, or rich food. It is said that it typically occurs among wealthy people: "you ask them to refrain from a rich diet, advice which they may resist." The description fits that of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

More than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes. In 2005, an estimated 1.1 million people died from diabetes.1 Almost 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Almost half of diabetes deaths occur in people under the age of 70 years; 55% of diabetes deaths are in women. WHO projects that diabetes deaths will double between 2005 and 2030. Healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. WHO (World health organization)

Diabetes is a major health problem worldwide, but particularly in America. It is estimated that about 2.1% of the world's population has diabetes, but the disease is out of control in America. In the U.S., current estimates are that over 6% of the adult population has the disease, 99% of them with the type 2 diabetes mellitus (late onset or non-insulin-dependent: NIDDM). Type 2 diabetes usually appears around the age of 50 or later, though it can occur during teen years in some cases of obesity. The incidence rate becomes quite high among elderly Americans (20% for those over the age of 65) and in groups with genetic or other predispositions including blacks (14%), Hispanics (15%), and Native Americans (19%). Furthermore, the overall incidence of diabetes is growing, apparently because of increased rates of obesity.

CDC data on prevalence of diabetes across the United States in 1994 (left) and in 2000 (right). The rise in diabetes rates is striking. In the year 2000, no states had less than 4% of the population with diabetes, and only 10 states had under 5%.

Despite the major medical advances in rapid and easy monitoring of blood sugar and treatment with drugs, diabetes remains a serious problem. Blood sugar regulation that can be attained by standard methods, particularly when patients are not fully compliant with all medical recommendations, is often not adequate to avoid common secondary effects of diabetes, including cardiovascular diseases, degenerative eye conditions, limb numbness and pain, skin ulceration, and kidney failure. Thus, investigating other avenues for aiding the treatment of diabetes and its secondary consequences is an important undertaking.

Acupuncture can stabilize blood sugar, correct insulin imbalances and aid in the treatment of Type II Diabetes or its earlier stages of Metabolic Syndrome Dubai Wellbeing Center conducted a small study of diabetes in the United Arab Emirates and found that acupuncture was a successful treatment for the disease Among the 22 participants who took usual Diabetes-prescribed drugs, there were 12 cases rated as effectively treated and 8 cases as markedly effective. However 20 of them showed serious side effects such as kidney malfunction. On the acupuncture group 27 patients were treated successful and 11 needed more treatment. However none of the 38 patients showed any side effect. .Source

ACUPUNCTURE FOR DIABETES
Acupuncture therapy is a common approach to treating diabetes in China. Many Americans assume that acupuncture is only suitable for treating pain, perhaps because the initial introduction of acupuncture was mainly for this application. Indeed, the general opinion here appears to be that acupuncture ought to be used mainly for treating chronic back pain. Therefore, relatively few people have turned to acupuncture for treating the disease. Increasingly, people with pain and other health problems for which acupuncture is selected also have diabetes.

Acupuncturists have identified about 20 points on the body that appear to be effective in lowering blood sugar; typically, a dozen of these points are selected for treatment at one time. Western cultures as a result of the increasing acceptance of Chinese medicine during the past three decades.

A report in the 1994 Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (37) serves as a model of Chinese research on acupuncture. The researchers recruited 60 patients with diabetes and divided them randomly into two groups: the acupuncture group (38 patients) and the control group (22 patients); the two groups were found to be well matched for symptoms and laboratory results (blood and urine tests). Both groups followed a regulated diet during the study, but one group received acupuncture.

To evaluate the effects of treatment, three levels of responses were defined. Patients who experienced markedly effective results were those who had their initial symptoms essentially disappear by the end of the one month treatment and their fasting blood-sugar levels had dropped below 130 (or the blood sugar two hours after a meal would be below 150). Further, the 24-hour, urine-sugar content was reduced by 30% or more at the end of treatment compared to beginning of treatment.

What are common consequences of diabetes? Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. 50% of people with diabetes die of cardiovascular disease (primarily heart disease and stroke). Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers and eventual limb amputation. Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as a result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the retina. After 15 years of diabetes, approximately 2% of people become blind, and about 10% develop severe visual impairment. Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure. 10-20% of people with diabetes die of kidney failure. Diabetic neuropathy is damage to the nerves as a result of diabetes, and affects up to 50% of people with diabetes. Although many different problems can occur as a result of diabetic neuropathy, common symptoms are tingling, pain, numbness, or weakness in the feet and hands. The overall risk of dying among people with diabetes is at least double the risk of their peers without diabetes.

For the 38 participants in the acupuncture group, there were 25 cases rated markedly effective and 10 cases rated effective: nearly 2/3 of the patients treated showed marked improvement and only three patients failed to respond. Further, it was reported that the patients receiving acupuncture experienced a statistically significant decline in cholesterol, triglycerides, and beta-lipoproteins. The drop in triglycerides was most substantial, with a decline from an average value of 151 at the start to 117 one month later (a decline of more than 20%). There were significant improvements in "nail-fold microcirculation," which is a measurement of blood circulation through capillary beds (poor circulation through these beds is one reason persons with diabetes suffer from skin ulceration), which has also been observed in other diabetes studies (11, 12). Among those who were using insulin, the amount needed after the 30 days of acupuncture declined in six of the eight individuals; in two of those cases, the insulin could be stopped altogether.

In the U.S., it is uncommon for people to receive acupuncture therapy every day, as is the method used in the clinical studies reported in the Chinese medical journals. Instead, one may undertake a course of therapy with acupuncture once or twice per week. Needless to say, the impact of the intermittent treatment is not as great as with daily acupuncture.
