Massage for Managing Blood Sugar Levels
Hyperglycemia is a condition where a person's blood sugar level is higher than they should be. Fasting blood sugar levels for a normal person are between 70-100mg per deciliter. After eating a meal, they generally do not get higher than 150mg. Anything over 180mg is cause for concern. As opposed to that, hypoglycemia is where a person's blood sugar level is 65mgs or lower.
One question that comes up frequently from suffers of either issue is whether or not massage is helpful for controlling blood sugar levels.

Some have also reported they have been able to maintain healthy sugar levels when they get massages on a regular basis. READ MORE
