Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes

In brief

Type 2 diabetes is a major meatbolic condition. People living with Type 2 diabetes come across a wide range of health issues, including psychological health. Specifically, diabetes distress are in high levels among them. Diabetes distress is associated with psychological states such as anxiety, lower levels of self-care, and higher hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. The Emotional Freedom Technique consists of cognitive and somatic components and is used to heal an individual's negative emotions and manage associated emotional and physical disorders. The basic principle of this technique is to regulate the flow of energy by stimulating the meridian system and to relax the individual while focusing on the emotional reactions that lead to disability. Although the prevalence of psychological problems associated with T2DM and diabetes is increasing, there are not enough studies showing the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique on the psychological well-being of T2DM individuals.
