Patient's question:
I dislike sweet foods. Last time I felt dizzy and short of breath and had a thorough check-up at the hospital, where I was diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor prescribed medication and advised me to pay more attention to my diet. Now, many of my worries prevent me from eating. It is said that cupping therapy is beneficial for the condition, and I want to try it, but I don't know how effective it will be.Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture cupping cannot cure diabetes. People with diabetes need to be cautious when undergoing acupuncture cupping to prevent the skin from rusting again, which can make it difficult to heal, leading to a higher risk of recurring inflammation and suppuration. Diabetes is caused by factors such as intergenerational inheritance and immune system disorders, leading to the decline of pancreatic function. Therefore, long-term treatment with medication is necessary, as there is currently no medication that can achieve a curative effect for this disease.
