| Core Tip |
This review examines electroacupuncture (EA) for glycemic control, addressing clinical controversies and underlying mechanisms. While EA shows promise in reducing blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes, current clinical trials are limited by small sample sizes and heterogeneous designs, lacking robust international consensus. Basic research indicates that EA’s hypoglycemic effects involve modulating the neuro-endocrine-immune axis, enhancing insulin signaling, and improving gut microbiota. Future work should focus on optimizing EA protocols and developing standardized interventions to advance its clinical application in diabetes management. |
