糖尿病是台灣民眾常見的慢性病，為先天遺傳或後天代謝失調所引起，症狀常見於三多一少(吃多喝多尿多及體重降低)，因糖尿病引起的併發症眾多，且目前無法根治，現已名列國人十大死因的前四名，且隨著國人生活型態及飲食水準的提高，患者年齡已逐年降低，有年輕化的趨勢，根據統計，六十歲以上的國人每五人就有一人患有此病，結果相當驚人。
糖尿病所帶來的併發症是非常廣泛的，但讓我最深刻的無疑是患者的糖尿病足，因為傷口癒合差，經過換藥及先進的高壓氧治療後若無法改善，就只有截肢一途，且糖尿病會鈍化肢體末梢神經，患者對於疼痛刺激降低，有時不知道自己的足部有傷口，故家中有糖尿患者應特別注意足部保養與護理。
糖尿病對於民眾生活影響巨大，靈氣對於患者是否有實質性的幫助呢?2007年美國衛生研究院(NIH)發表一篇研究結果，靈氣可影響糖尿病足的神經疼痛，有興趣的朋友可以點閱。在這篇IARP為糖尿病寫的專欄裡，詳載了靈氣對於患者生活品質的提升與照護，藉由這樣的落實介紹，能幫助大眾將靈氣視為一種有效的醫療輔助療法，進一步活用於日常生活中。

A number of treatments exist for diabetes, but the condition continues to cause problems for people everywhere, often worsening over time.

What is Diabetes?
什麼是糖尿病？
Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the pancreas stops producing adequate amounts of insulin or when the body becomes unable to use the insulin produced effectively. This forces the amount of sugar in the blood to increase, which causes damage to the body’s organ systems.
糖尿病是當胰腺臟停止產生足夠量的胰島素或當身體不能有效使用產生的胰島素時發生的病症。這迫使血液中糖的量增加，這導致對身體器官系統的損害。
Left unchecked, diabetes can lead to many serious complications and adverse effects.
Specifically, people who suffer from diabetes may experience:

To control diabetes, medical professionals recommend a variety of strategies. Most people with diabetes are encouraged to check their blood sugar on a regular basis and keep record of fluctuations. People with diabetes may also take oral medications, injectable medications and/or insulin. In addition, diabetes patients may benefit from changes to their diet, as well as regular exercise.
為了控制糖尿病，醫學專業人員推薦各種策略。大多數糖尿病患者被鼓勵定期檢查他們的血糖，並記錄波動。糖尿病患者也可以服用口服藥物，注射藥物和/或胰島素。此外，糖尿病患者會因改變他們的飲食，以及常規運動而受益。
How Can Reiki Help?
靈氣如何幫忙？
Reiki is a Japanese origin therapy based on the concept of energy flow. A practitioner performing Reiki uses touch and specific hand positions to encourage the flow of the client’s energy, dissolving energy blockages and facilitating the body’s natural healing response. The belief behind this treatment is that discomfort and illness are the result of blocked or disturbed energy pathways within the body. The goal of Reiki is to restore normal flow to these pathways, thus assisting in improving the client’s physical condition.
During a Reiki session, a practitioner places both of his or her hands in specific positions and touches the client lightly. Alternatively, the practitioner may also hold his or her hands a few inches above the client. The practitioner may change the position of his or her hands up to 15 times during the session, holding each position for up to five minutes.
靈氣是基於能量流概念發源於日本的療法。施行Reiki的執行師使用觸摸和特定的手勢，鼓勵客戶的能量流動，溶解能量阻塞的地方並促進身體的自然癒合反應。這種治療背後的信念是，身體不適和疾病是由於體內能量流動被阻斷或干擾的的結果。靈氣的目標是恢復正常流動，從而有助於改善病人的身體狀況。
在靈氣期間，醫生將他或她的手放在特定位置，輕輕地觸摸病人。或者，醫生也可以將他或她的手保持在病人上方幾英寸。醫生可以在靈氣期間將他或她的手的位置改變15次，保持每個位置長達五分鐘。
For an individual with diabetes, Reiki treatments may help in the following ways:
對於糖尿病患者，靈氣治療可能有以下方式：
Reduction of stress
減輕壓力
High stress levels often lead to blood sugar imbalances. Reiki may help to lower stress levels, which could help to lower the client’s blood sugar as well.
高壓常常導致血糖不平衡。靈氣有助於舒壓，也有助於降低病患的血糖。
