Yes
Yes.
Yes it is safe to get acupuncture with diabetes but make sure to have a protein rich meal before hand because acupuncture can lower your blood sugar. Eating protein beforehand will help to stabilize it.
Yes, it is safe to receive acupuncture as long as you seek out State Licensed board certified providers. Always ask the provider what their experience working with diabetes is.
Yes it is safe to have acupuncture for your neck pain even if you have diabetes.

Yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
There are always concerns when the skin is being pierced; however, having type 2 diabetes does not add to these risks. As long as you are comfortable with the hygiene of the facility and the competence of the practitioner acupuncture is safe for people with diabetes.
Absolutely. I have many, many patients who are diabetics and they get acupuncture with only positive results.
Yes it is safe
Yes it is safe to get acupuncture with massage and herbs for your neck pain also these modalities can treat your diabetes type 2, but it takes time due to chronic issue! You better try.
Yes
Sorry for the delay. Yes, it is safe for diabetics to get acupuncture treatment and acupuncture treat diabetics as well.
YES. NO REASON NOT TO USE ACUPUNCTURE FOR NECK PAIN.
Yes, acupuncture is typically safe for diabetics. I have several patients with type 2 diabetes under treatment for a variety of issues. You do have to be careful with moxa/moxibustion, especially around the feet/lower leg if you have peripheral neuropathy. Just make sure your provider is aware of any issues you might be experiencing that are secondary to the diabetes (diabetic neuropathy, etc.).
