Does anyone have previous experience having reflexology with type 1 diabetes. Not sure how it will put my blood sugars. Had it done before diagnosed but not sure about having it again!

Try it and see. Just keep an eye on your BGs - simples.




Late onset T1, several auto immune issues.
Humalogmix25 twice a day, Methotrexate 25mg once per week, FolicAcid 5mg once per week, prednisolone 5mg daily, Allopurinol 300mg, Calcichew-D3 800iu, Levothyroxine 50mcg, Atenolol 50mg, Losarten 100mg, Aspirin 75mg, Nicorandil 20mg, Nitrolingual GTN spray, Metformin 2000mg, Allimemazine 10mg, Lanzoprazole 30mg, Atorvastatin 20mg, Co Codamol 8/500mg, Depo Medrone (Methylprednisolone) or double Prednisolone for 7 days in case of RA flare.
 
I had reflexology this afternoon, no problem, was 7.7 before I drove there and 6.6 driving home
 
I found it lowered my carb ratio / increased my insulin sensitivity for a week or so. But any kind of deep relaxation seems to do that for me.
 
When I had reflexology a few years back it would occasionally lower my blood sugar a bit - I think it depended on which areas had been manipulated though. Just be aware that it might happen and prepare accordingly!
