Yishu point is an odd point, which runs along the bladder meridian line of foot Taiyang. Although this point does not seem to have any relationship with the pancreas from the perspective of the direction of this meridian and the internal connection, because most diabetes patients have different degrees of tenderness at this point, it indicates that this point is a biological information point of the pancreas on the back. Acupuncture at this acupoint can not only unblock the meridians of the bladder, regulate the functions of organs such as the liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys, but also effectively control the metabolism of blood sugar and reduce blood sugar. Clinical experience has proved that Yishu point has hypoglycemic effect on most patients with diabetes.
