Why should the sugar level increase in the first place if the healing is happening? Please be careful with such "healers". Even if you opt to take this treatment, I don't think it would be advisable to go off your medicines without checking the sugar levels.

You should rely on scientific results/findings before movong on to Accupuncture. Besides food control, regular exercises, allopathic medicines are better to control sugar levels. THEREFORE, do not STOP english medicines.

What you have to look for is to see whether sugar is under control or not.

I think there is no need to stop medicines just because you started acupuncture.Generally acupuncture will be done in about 6 to 8 sittings.You can monitor closely during the treatment and adjust the dosages if and when the sugar levels drop.
