Acupuncture used to treat diabetes

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 1:35pm.

I would love to see URMC use some of this grant money to clinically test Western & Eastern medicine combined to get better patient outcomes. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes & I am working with an MD who graduated from The University of California, San Diego Medical School, a RD who is a graduate of The University of California, Davis & a PhD who is a licensed accupuncturist. I am seeing significantly lower blood sugar readings starting hours after having accupuncture which is specifically treating the diabetes. I am currently having accupuncture twice a week.
