Good luck
Acupressure on points is not helpful for diabetes type 2. If you want to try acupuncture with King herbs, and sometimes massage, you should see improvement gradually. It would take from 3-6 months to see a good result.
HelloAcupuncture for type 2 diabetes can definitely help. Surely your acupuncturist will be utilizing points on your back legs and arms. 
This is a great question. There is an acupuncture point on the back which is associated with balancing the pancreas. Absolutely acupuncture can help. It goes without saying lifestyle adjustment, such as healthy food intake, exercise, and eliminating sugars is also integral part of balancing insulin.
The acupuncture points for diabetes are as follows: SP6, SP9, SP10, STO 36, STO 34, and CON 8. Diabetes has five differentiations. Your best bet is to talk to your acupuncturist.
Acupuncture doesn't work that way... magical points to treating a western diagnosis. The process requires a practitioner to diagnose you... which requires your presence. Anything promising otherwise isn't real Chinese Medicine (acupuncture). Yes, aspects of diabetes are responsive to treatment, but not in the sense that you do not have to still make dietary and lifestyle changes.
Hello- acupressure can help- it is a metabolic situation - so nutrition and products to detox and build are also as important. Large intestine 4- in the web of the hand, Liver 3- on the foot between the big toe and the next toe. Stimulating the entire inner leg along the bone from the ankle to the knee will help stimulate the kidney and spleen (pancreas) channels also. You can look these points up on the computer.
Spleen 6, 9, Kidney 3,7, 9. This will be lovely and may be painful.
diabetes is complex. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
I am a pediatric endocrinologist. I do not know anything about acupuncture, but I haven't read any clinical studies that show any benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
Yes an acupuncturist can help you. There are many points that they may choose from on the back, lower legs, feet, etc.
Yes acupuncture can treat diabetes. Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. There is no fixed method. Which acupuncture points should be used is determined according to the different conditions and stages of each patient.
I know of no acupressure points that help diabetes, but your acupuncturist might have a protocol to help, and perhaps some suggestions of herbs, as well.
Can acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine serve as an adjunct to treating your type 2 diabetes? Probably, yes. Should they be the only things you're using to treat this condition? No.

The onset of type 2 diabetes often has a dietary component and unless you're addressing that aspect, any kind of treatment is not going to go far.
