🌿 Acupuncture for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D): steady numbers, steadier days.

When blood sugar swings, energy and mood often swing with it.
Alongside your medical care, acupuncture, (and when appropriate) Chinese herbal support may help regulate glucose control, calm inflammation, and ease nerve-related symptoms.

🥗 Pairs well with nutrition: studies show acupuncture + anti-inflammatory diet improved HbA1c and mood versus diet alone.
