Bio-Feedback

As you may expect, biofeedback therapy has both benefits and liabilities. Let me start with the "bad" news:

Your health-insurance company may not provide coverage, so the sessions can be pricey.

Identifying a trained professional who has the equipment and who is competent to provide the therapy may be difficult.

The therapy takes time. Biofeedback improvements may not occur in the first few sessions, and it may take longer than you'd like before you see any results — not a good thing if you're paying out of pocket for these treatments.

The major pro is that if biofeedback therapy works, you'll feel better. Experts also believe that you can generalize the results of biofeedback to your daily life. That is, after you've mastered the technique, you no longer need to be hooked up to a machine that measures your blood pressure, pulse, and so forth. Instead, when you feel yourself starting to stress out, you can (at least, theoretically) call upon the capabilities that you've gained through the biofeedback training. In one study, patients were still successful at using what they'd learned even six months after biofeedback therapy had completely ended. They hadn't forgotten the techniques, even though they were no longer receiving the treatments.
 
Must admit, I didn't know what this was at first when I read the title: thought it was a question about what people thought about one's own biography lol

But, a brief over on the Mayo and Cleveland Clinic's sites and I get the jist of it. From what I see, there's no side effects or drawbacks ( well other than your insurance sometimes bailing on you for treatment), so it's worth a shot in my opinion. Anything that can keep you out of an invasive procedure or even off of a medication always is a plus in my book if possible.

I had some therapy sessions where they practiced things along these lines, focusing on techniques such as breathing exercises, hand tapping/EFT stuff, medication etc. Lot of stuff honestly didn't work for me, but, going this route here would've saved a lot of time and effort by figuring out what does and doesn't work a LOT quicker by showing some proven results from a monitored response.

In your case, figuring out some other methods to manage glucose would definitely be worthwhile.
