Diabetes support

Complementary care for Type 2 diabetes and blood-sugar dysregulation — approached with acupuncture and herbal support at AHC Chicago.

Overview

About diabetes support

TCM has a long history of treating what it calls Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst) syndrome, which overlaps significantly with modern diabetes. We do not treat diabetes in place of endocrinology care — we work alongside it, aiming to support metabolic function, reduce complications, and improve daily energy and comfort.

Treatment

How we treat it

Regular acupuncture supports circulation and may reduce peripheral neuropathy symptoms. Herbal formulas target the identified TCM pattern (often Yin deficiency with heat). Coordination with your primary physician is important, especially around any medication changes.
