Reflexology and Diabetes
Reflexology can be used to help those with diabetes, while it is not a curable condition it is manageable and that is what Reflexology aims to do by:
- Stimulating the Pancreas and Liver to help maintain blood sugar levels
- Reduce blood sugar fluctuations
- Minimise complications
- Reduce stress and tension which can often aggravate diabetes.
For anyone undergoing reflexology treatments for diabetes it is important to keep an eye on your glucose levels before and after a treatment, making sure you have something to boost your blood sugar should you need it. Your and your Reflexologist should also be working along side your GP/health practitioner, informing them that your are having treatments and letting them know of any changes to your blood sugar levels.

My husband is diabetic and I do reflexology on him regularly. However, because having that kind of health issue, I use less pressure and make the sessions shorter and he does great. I also use specific therapeutic grade essential oils for the pancreas on the bottom of the feet after the session. And as you said, making sure you check your glucose levels before and after the session.
