In the study, 64 people with type 2 diabetes they were assigned a diet and exercise program designed to control hypertension and hyperglycemia. However, a portion of the total were made partakers of the 90-minute sessions of acupressure four to six times per week.

At the end of the study, participants in the latter group experienced lower levels of bad cholesterol, in addition to improved levels of good cholesterol compared with those who received no acupressure. In addition, patients in this group also showed better performance in their kidneys.
