Hi everyone, my sister has been suffering from diabetes since she was four and she is now twenty six, so diabetic for twenty two years. It has been serious for a while. Every time she goes high it causes long term damage to her body and it's affecting her eyes a lot at the moment.

I am on this forum asking is anybody knows any good medical practitioners that work with patients like they are patients, rather than just textbook stereotypes. I know the most effective therapists and doctors treat each patients separately based on their own individual needs (e.g. M.Erickson).

This is general, I know.. but I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

For diabetics a good diet and possibly weight loss can be a great help. Hypnosis/NLP would probably help her to pay more attention to her diet and to make sure that she's getting adequate exercise. There is reason to believe that it can help with vision as well. I'm sure a good weight loss hypnosis practitioner could help though.

Sebastian: Anecdotally I've heard of people getting great success with diabetes through Diet. Specifically a diet available in Australia created by a man called Dr Cohen (I think Dr Cohen is South African though). Depends whether it is diabetes Type 2, or not.
