Angela McGrady at The Medical College of Ohio studied the
effects of biofeedback-assisted relaxation on a small sample of people
with Type I, insulin-dependent diabetes, and found the intervention
extremely promising. Significantly more members of the imagery group
reduced their blood glucose by 10% after one month, and some decreased
insulin intake. Anxiety and especially depression appeared to interfere
with a positive outcome. (As reported in Alternative Health practitioner: The Journal of Complementary and Natural Care, Vol 3, no 3, Fall/Winter 1997.)
