Is Reiki effective in assisting the treatment of Diabetes?
Yes.
Should Reiki be used to assist the treatment of Diabetes?

Diabetes Type 1 is a condition caused by the lack of insulin being produced by the patients pancreas. This is generally considered incurable and requires the patient to inject themselves each day with insulin to assist in the break-down of blood sugars.

A dip in blood sugar through eating too little or injecting insulin at the wrong time can be seriously dangerous, and in extreme cases lead to diabetic coma and possibly death.
