Acupressure can reduce the sugar level significantly in patients with diabetes, no matter what type it may be (types I and II both can be tackled with acupressure) Acupressure stimulates different pressure points in the body and can help improve a persons normal health levels. By tapping into these specific pressure points, you are helping your body release healing mechanisms. These healing mechanisms are normally trapped by stress and fatigue you subject your body to daily. Ancient Chinese medicine teaches us that by releasing these pressure points, we are also releasing any negative energy that may be associated with that particular pressure point. This can have a huge healing benefit on the body. Applying gentle pressure on precise acupoints is believed to stimulate the central nervous system (i.e. brain & spinal cord) to release chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and the brain. These chemicals

release other chemicals, such as hormones, that influence the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional wellbeing. And thus naturally the bloods sugar/glucose level normalizes without any negative side effect, but may be with positive side effects (additional benefits).
