Case report shows acupuncture decreases blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes, suggesting sustained effects post-treatment.

Daily average blood glucose decreased from 138 to 108 mg/dL during the acupuncture intervention, and remained below 140 mg/dL post-treatment.
Continuous glucose monitoring revealed the percentage of time spent below target increased from 0% to 17% during acupuncture treatment.
The patient received acupuncture treatment at Stomach-36 and Spleen-6 for 30 minutes over 10 consecutive days.
Findings support the need for further research with larger cohorts and randomized controlled trials to confirm efficacy.

A. Mooventhan (2025) studied this question.
