Significant heat sensitivity increase detected in various types of diabetes mellitus patients by Akabane test for use of management of diabetic patients

Abstract

In order to assess patterns of heat sensitivity thresholds in patients with diabetes mellitus, the Akabane test was carried out on patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (250 men and 309 women) and patients with noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (158 men and 227 women). For comparison, a group of healthy subjects made up of 116 men and 277 women was also used. As soon as we revealed the influence of factors of pathology with a high significance level and gender and the interaction "gender*pathology", all the results are described separately for groups of men and women and for groups with IDDM and NIDDM. Simple effects of paired comparisons between healthy subjects, IDDM and NIDDM in groups of men and women, as well as comparisons between the profiles of men and women with IDDM and NIDDM showed significant differences between ACs in healthy subjects and those with each type of diabetes. The most significant differences are seen in the AC connected with the digestive system (SP pancreas channel), LR (liver channel), ST (stomach channel), GB (gall bladder channel). Thus, we revealed characteristic pattern of acupuncture channels (AC) lesions inherent to diabetes pathology, i.e. most vulnerable in diabetes ACs, being compromised in dependence from such factors, as type of diabetes, hyper or hypoglycemia, and from gender. The main value of the method lies in the fact that we observe the entire food chain from food ingestion to the utilization of carbohydrates with the opportunity to assess the activity of each organ and its regulatory contribution. On the basis of the body's response, an individual selection of medicines can be made, and by evaluating the individual biorhythms it is possible to determine the optimal time of administration.

Opportunities of the Akabane Test for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

“…As a result, Right/Left (R/L) ratio is the most effective criteria for evaluation of the body functional status. This is confirmed by the results of previous studies [16,17]. Figure 5 shows these profiles of the R/L ratio in T2D comparing to the norm.…”

“…In male groups there was a dietary factor due to a gastric canal damage along with a tissue hypoxia (AC-LU) and small intestine and pancreas damage, which is more typical for type 1 diabetes. Figure 6 shows a diagram of communication channel SP with the pancreas, described by us previously [16][17][18]. From this it is clear why the growth SPr with the (+) vector of influence leads to the growth of fructosamine in Table 5.…”

“…Moreover, it is possible to construct regression models of how AC is linked to various medicines or their dose or time after administration. In such a manner it is possible to individually find a medicine and its best dose to neutralize sugar level increase acting by the same regression models of links to sugar [14,16]. This method provides new concepts for efficient and applicable monitoring.…”

Possibilities of the Akabane Test and ТСМ Principles for Monitoring Patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome

“…Ki -kidney channel is connected to the kidney function and the adrenal glands. BL -urinary bladder channel is connected to the urogenital system, its functions and its related hormones, it reflects the state of vertebrae column as well [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Each channel consists of the left (l) and the right (r) branch between which normal symmetrical activity balance is maintained.…”

System of Thermopuncture Diagnostics and Monitoring of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

“…Therefore, the more pronounced the asymmetry of the indicators of AC, the higher the degree of functional or organic disorders in a particular physiological system with which it is associated [9,14].…”
