Background
The increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, especially among older adults, presents a significant public health challenge. As this population ages, the complexities of managing diabetes, coupled with stress and sleep disturbances, necessitate innovative and effective treatment strategies. Many individuals are turning towards complementary therapies, seeking options that may improve their quality of life alongside conventional medical treatments. Auricular acupressure, a non-invasive form of acupuncture focusing on specific points within the ear, has emerged as a compelling alternative aiming to manage symptoms associated with diabetes, specifically targeting glycemic control, stress reduction, and sleep improvement.
