Try cupping (glass or bamboo cups to create a vacuum in order to increase warmth and circulation) to boost the effects of your next massage. Cupping powerfully moves stagnant blood out of a painful area allowing fresh oxygenated blood in its place. Cupping can also be a less painful alternative to deep massage. Note: cupping may leave a bruise depending on the area and how easily you bruise. Let your acupuncturist know if this is an issue so the technique can be modified.


For someone with prediabetes, losing just 5 to 10 percent of body weight significantly reduces blood sugar levels and reduces insulin resistance. For someone who weighs 200 lbs, that means losing as little as 10 lbs. When losing weight is combined with regular exercise, the risk of developing diabetes is cut by 58 percent.


And there's another, very significant benefit: losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight lowers the chances of having a heart attack or stroke. If you already have diabetes, studies have found that weight loss can significantly reduce symptoms of diabetes and insulin resistance. The American Diabetes Association recommends a slow-but-steady weight loss goal of .5 to one pound per week.


It's very useful to consult a registered dietitian for help in changing eating habits, controlling overeating, and designing a diet plan you can live happily with and that provides the right sort of nutrition for diabetes. There is no specific "diabetes diet." A healthy diet for diabetes is the same as a healthy diet for anyone: rich in nutrients and fiber and low in refined carbohydrates, high-glycemic-index foods (like potatoes), and saturated and trans fats.


The glycemic index (GI) classifies carbohydrates based on how quickly and how much they boost blood sugar compared to pure glucose. Foods that have a low GI are absorbed slowly in the digestive tract, raising blood sugar evenly over a long period of time. Exercising regularly is one of the best things you can do for diabetes.


Exercise, whether anerobic or aerobic, induces both your muscles and your liver to take up more glucose, lowering your blood sugar levels. Exercise decreases insulin resistance, normalizes blood pressure, improves sleep and decreases stress. Talk to your healthcare practitioner before starting a new exercise regimen. Choose something you enjoy and that's at the right level for your current fitness. It's best to exercise every day, at the same time.


If you smoke, quit now. Smoking is especially bad for people with prediabetes or diabetes. If you don't now have diabetes, smoking makes it three times as likely that you will develop it. Smoking further damages already compromised blood vessels, constricting them and injuring them. It causes complications, like kidney disease, retinal disease and foot problems, to occur sooner, and increases risk of death. What's more, nicotine has been found to directly increase blood sugar levels.


Being stressed stimulates the production of corticosteroids, the "stress hormones," which increase blood glucose levels. By the same token, studies show that reducing stress can lower blood sugar levels. Try meditation, biofeedback, or focused breathing techniques. Just doing something you enjoy, like gardening or reading, can be a good way to de-stress.


Exercise (aerobic exercise, yoga, tai chi) is an excellent de-stressor. Support groups and therapy may prove very helpful as well. These come into play only after you have seriously considered lifestyle changes; they are not a substitute, much less a cure-all. Some people with diabetes have found chromium or alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) to be helpful in controlling their blood sugar. ALA, an antioxidant, may also be useful in treating nerve damage.
