Could acupuncture help your body respond better to insulin?
A recent meta-analysis reviewed 9 randomized controlled trials involving 562 patients to evaluate whether acupuncture can improve insulin resistance.
Researchers measured key markers including insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting insulin, fasting blood sugar, and 2-hour post-meal blood sugar.
The results showed that acupuncture significantly improved insulin resistance, lowered fasting insulin levels, and reduced 2-hour post-meal blood sugar levels.
However, fasting blood sugar levels did not show significant improvement.
Overall, the findings suggest that acupuncture may help improve insulin resistance to some degree.
And remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
