Type 2 diabetes

“I have type 2 diabetes and I have been obese most of my life.”

Each week I select a question from the many emails I receive and questions that I am asked about healthcare support hypnosis. This week’s question comes from Jim who is from Kansas.

“I subscribed to your blog posts several months ago and I’m surprised to say that I look forward to reading them each morning. Thank you for starting my day with a positive suggestion.

I have type 2 diabetes and I have been obese most of my life. I’m in my 40’s and my quality of life is suffering. It’s harder for me to get to work, I can’t take care of my property and I’m becoming less and less involved in my children’s activities because it’s just too hard for me. I’m tired all the time. I live just outside of Topeka. It’s hot and humid and I’m miserable.

I’ve never been successful with dieting. I’m wondering, what can hypnosis do for my diabetes? Jim”

Weight loss and diabetes

Thank you for your question, Jim and thank you for reading my posts. I am happy that you find them helpful.

Since you’ve been reading my posts you know that I too was overweight most of my life. Twenty years ago I lost over 115 pounds and I have kept it off with hypnosis, healthy eating and exercise.

When I weighed 260 pounds, I was borderline diabetic and I remember how scary that was for me. I have several family members with diabetes and I have witnessed how that has affected them.

My experience with clients over the years is that in as little as 4 to 6 weeks, people are reporting that blood sugars are stabilizing and that they are using less and frequently no diabetes medication. Their medical doctors are thrilled and often refer their other patients to me.

Hypnosis for diabetes

There is a growing body of research supporting hypnosis for diabetes and clients usually report positive changes with three to four weeks.

Hypnosis has been found to promote greater motivation for sticking with self-care which can be challenging for people with diabetes.

Studies show that hypnosis can also help lower hemoglobin A1C, reduce blood glucose, in the short and long term and can help with circulation and neuropathy.

In short, healthcare support hypnosis can help you to prevent and reverse diabetes. It really can be easy for you to make the lifestyle choices needed to keep your blood sugar in a healthy range.
