Background: In view of its prevalence, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a socially significant disease, which affects millions of patients. Despite the significant advances in modern medicine, there are problems with early diagnosis and effective treatment of this disease, especially at home.
In this regard, it would be interesting to pay attention to the possibility of diagnosing and treating this disease from reverse the viewpoint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Methods/Design: In order to assess patterns of heat sensitivity thresholds of Acupuncture Channels (AC) in patients with T1D, the Akabane test was carried out on with 250 men and 309 women. For comparison, a group of healthy subjects made up of 116 men and 277 women was also used.
Results: Simple effects of paired comparisons between healthy subjects and T1D in groups of men and women, showed significant differences between heat sensitivity in healthy subjects and with patients T1D. The most significant differences are seen in the AC connected with the digestive system. In this case, the greatest diagnostic value is the level of asymmetry between the right and left branches of these AC, which varies in proportion to the level of glycemia. Changes in the AC are stable and precede the manifestation of the functional and organic disorders inherent in this disease. This dependence allows for early T1D diagnostics. Based on the regression analysis, a general model for the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in these patients was developed. The presence of such a model allowed correcting the level of glycemia in patients with partially preserved B-cell function by targeted stimulation of the pancreas by heating two points SP4 and SP2 on the right side of the pancreas channel. This technique has been successfully tested in patients with T1D.
Conclusion: The combination of the Akabane test with the use of mathematical analysis in patients with T1D makes it possible to trace the entire chain of carbohydrate metabolism at an individual level and to identify the compensatory mechanisms for more effective therapeutic effects by the method of thermopuncture stimulation of certain AC.
In the TCM literature, various studies on the leveling of various manifestations of T1D are widely presented [1-7]. However, they lack a holistic theoretical approach to diagnosing and treating this disease using reflexotherapy. In this connection, we were interested in the possibility of diagnosing this disease on the basis on evaluation of the bioenergy status of the Acupuncture Channels (AC). For this we used the thermal Koben Akabane test [8].
In order to quantitatively evaluate a channel’s activity level in TCM, the so-called “sacrificial stick” test was used in ancient times in China. This test involved a burning sandal stick which was brought in proximity to points at the tips of every finger and toe until the first sensation of pain.
At each point, the pulse rate before pain was first felt was measured. If the number of pulse beats was lower than the average one for all the channels, it proved the hyperactivity of an acupuncture channel and its corresponding organ. On the other hand, when the rate was higher, it represented the inactivity of a channel and its corresponding organ. This test was described by the Japanese doctor K. Akabane in 1952 and since then, the test has carried his name.
In addition, we found that the effect of heating of 2 points (SP2 and SP4) on the right side gives effect on the reduction of glycemia due to targeted stimulation of the pancreas with in cases their partial preservation [9]. This effect on reducing the level of glycemia in patients was discovered by us back in 1998 [10]. During this time, we successfully treated patients with T1D using this method with the purpose of lowering the level of glycemia [11].
Akabane tests were studied in 559 patients with T1D where was 309 females and 250 males in comparison with the group 393 of healthy subjects where was 116 males and 277 females.
The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was confirmed on the basis of standard examination methods in a specialized endocrinology hospital clinic environment. Patients with polyneuropathy were excluded from the study. An analysis of capillary blood from the finger was carried out on all patients using an individual glucometer for sugar levels. The study included patients with a sugar level of 4 to 22 mmol/l. Total daily insulin doses was from 5 to 100 units per day.
For Akabane tests we used a special certified device “Merid” [12,13]. This test measures the pain thresholds in temperature sensitivity when heat is applied to the “entrance-exit” points of each channel (LU11, LII1, PC9, TE1, HT9, SI1, SP1, LR1, ST45, GB44, KI1 and BL67) by applying an impulse LED non-coherent IR-light onto the skin (f=1Hz, λ=920nM), with control the total energy expenditure in Joules. Each impulse radiates 0.07 Joule thermal energy.
Each channel consists of the left (l) and the right (r) branch between which symmetrical activity balance is maintained normal.
Temperature Sensitivity (TS) is our bodies’ basic reactive system; it is as significant as such important indicators as body temperature as it gives a very clear representation of functional and psycho-physiological profiles.
All data are presented as mean ± SEM. One-way MANOVAs followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests and testing simple effects were used to analyze the effect of gender (Males/Females) and of pathology factors (healthy people -Norm and patients with T1D) on the profiles of TS, with an evaluation of simple effects related to gender and pathology. In addition, the profiles of TS were compared using Mann-Whitney test. Statistical decisions were made at a significance level of 5% (?≤0.05). Data analysis was provided using software package SPSS Inc., V 15.
The reason for the beginning of research in this field was the observation of a patient with T1D. During testing in certain periods against a background of high hyperglycemia, it was noted that the right branches of the AC of the pancreas several times exceeded the value of the left one (Table 1).

Table 1: The Results of the Akabane test for high and low blood sugar in patients with T1D.
So, this test showed a marked imbalance in the points SP1 (SPr > SPl), LR (LRl > LRr), and blood sugar according to the control measurement was 16.0 mmol/l.
Below a test is shown for the same patient with T1D at the time of relative well-being after an insulin injection with normal blood sugar levels (5.6 mmol/l). In this case, the test scores for all diagnostic points are approximately equal and symmetrical. Thus, the results of this observation carried out back in 1997 allowed to believe that with the help of a thermopuncture test it is possible to effectively monitor the functional state of patients with diabetes [9,11].
Figure 1 shows the averaged test profiles at the level of 12 AC in patients and in healthy subjects. To do this, we summarized the indicators of the left and right branches for each channel. Based on the results of the comparison of the profiles of the patients with IDDM and of healthy subjects, some pronounced differences were found in both males and females. In this case, the most pronounced differences are cut off according to the parameters of the AC of the pancreas, liver and stomach.

Main effects in 2X2 MANOVA are significant for both Gender, F (12.937) = 3.04, p<0.001, η2 = 0.04 and Diagnosis, F (12.937) = 5.78, p<0.001, η2 = 0.07. Interaction of factors diagnosis and gender did not show significance.
The most significant differences are noted for AC, associated with the gastrointestinal tract. In general, females showed greater differences than males.
The study at the level of 24 branches of 12 AC allowed revealing another important difference of T1D from the norm (Figure 2). It lies not only in the output of the TS channel series beyond the weighted average state, which is noted in the norm, but especially in the symmetry breaking between the left and right sides of some AC. The presence of high indices for the Akabane test means the hypofunction of the channel and the organ associated with it. Therefore, the more pronounced the asymmetry of the indicators of AC, the higher the degree of functional or organic disorders in a particular physiological system with which it is associated [9,14].
Figure 2: Comparison of TS profiles at the level of 24 branches of 12 AC between the norm and T1D.
* - significant differences; + - tendency.
In addition to the presence of changes in the profile itself, in case of T1D attention should be paid to the presence of deviation (spread) of the indicators over various channels. The presence of such deviation indicates a significant role of the channel itself in leveling the manifestations of diabetes. The level of blood sugar changes - the indicators of AC change. Therefore, high values of deviation should be considered as a factor of compensation in the resistance of the organism to the unfavorable internal conditions. If there is no deviation through the channel, then this system does not participate in regulatory processes and has little prospect for corrective interventions.
Table 3 shows the results obtained when the healthy subjects and those with T1D at the level of 24 branches of 12 AC were compared using Post hoc tests in MANOVA and the Mann-Whitney test. Dependent variables - factors - Gender (males/females) & Diagnosis (Norm/T1D).

Main effects in 2X2 MANOVA are significant for both Gender, F (24.925) = 2.26, p=0.001, η2 = 0.06 and diagnosis, F (24.925) = 3.72, p<0.001, η2 = 0.09. Interaction of factors diagnosis and gender did not show significance.
Figure 3 shows TS profiles in T1D patients compared to males and females. For the eight branches of the AC, these differences are of great significance. In general, the asymmetry in females is more pronounced than in females not only in the AC of the digestive system, but also in the AC related to the cardiovascular system. The presence of high asymmetry TS between the branches of the AC with T1D at the root distinguishes their profile from the norm where the indices of all the right branches of the AC exceed the left ones by only 1-2% [9].

These differences in the predominantly right-sided hypofunction of the AC are also confirmed in more in-depth statistical analysis at the level of 24 branches of the AC (Table 4).

As a result of these observations, the most capacious information on the state of metabolic disturbances in the body can be obtained from the graph of the ratio of the right and left branches of the AC, which is presented in figure 4. This presentation of the information for each patient is important for his treatment, because in each case, the target channels for correction by stimulation method are visible.

In order to estimate the average blood glucose concentration in the 2-3 past weeks’ period, a test with determination of fructosamine of blood is used in clinical practice. The stepwise regression analysis for this indicator in patients with T1D has the most significant effect (p = 0.001) on blood glucose level in the right branch of the pancreas with the «plus» symbol (Table 5). It can be assumed that the growth in the parameters of this AC reflects the hypo- function of B-cells and, consequently, an increase in the level of sugar in the blood. Of other AC, the right branch of the lungs AC and the left branch of the pericardium AC with different signs of influence have a significant effect on the level of glycemia. The hypofunction of the lungs AC reflects functional failure of the lungs with the development of hypoxia, and as a consequence, low combustion of carbohydrates with an increase in their concentration in the blood. The PC channel reflects, among other things, the state of muscle activity. Intensive muscular activity reduces the level of blood sugar, which is quite logical.

According to the model, only the AC of the large intestine has the most reliable component linking it with the level of the C-peptide. It turns out that the growth of TS LIl reflects a decrease in the concentration of insulin, and the growth of TS LIr, on the contrary, reflects an increase in the level of insulin in the blood. Thus, it becomes clear why the growth of LIl promotes the growth of blood glucose level, because at the same time the concentration of endogenous insulin produced by B-cells is reduced.
To assess the links of interchannel connections at the level of 24 branches, it is necessary to analyze the matrix with 24 x 24 parameters, which is quite difficult. For this analysis, we use a graphical construction system in the form of a specific profile for the link strength where the AC are located taking into account their inclusion in “5 primary elements”, according to TCM, and the thickness of the lines varies depending on the values of the t-criteria of the interchannel connections.
Figure 5 shows the structure of the interchannel connections at men in the norm and with T1D. Normally, all negative Yin (-) correlation connections originate from the AC KI and BL, and all positive (+) connections Yan occur mainly between the AC associated with the circulatory system. Normally, as a result of this construction, a dipole structure (+/-) with a proportion of the “golden section” (1.62) between the classical poles Yin and Yan is obtained [9,15]. Such a combination normally forms harmony in the body at the level of its bioenergetics, which according to ??? forms the “healthy body and healthy spirit”. With T1D, the negative pole of the dipole is weakly expressed and it moves to the SP level. At the same time, unusual expressing positive correlation signs between the AC of the cardiovascular system with the large intestine and the lung are noteworthy. Which confirms their important role in the formation of this pathology? Billions of bacteria that are sensitive to environmental factors live in LI. Their total biofield forms this energy of this. At T1D the expressed ligaments with the AC of the lungs reflect the presence of severe tissue hypoxia. The stronger these ties, the more pronounced oxygen hypoxia in the body. With each pathology, we see a certain pattern of such a matrix, according to which, as with a fingerprint, it is possible to diagnose various diseases and to see the individual features of the organism.
Figure 5: Correlation matrix of inter-channel connections of A? in norm and T1D.
The TS of certain branches of the only on the left or the right is changing for a short period of time synchronously with changes in blood sugar levels. This disparity cannot be explained by differences in innervations or other external influences. It lies in the direct relation between of AC activity and different indicators of the body. In TCM the right side is equated with the notion of Yin associated with reflection of energy accumulation in the channel and therefore in the corresponding organ, whiles the left side - Yang - is associated with energy expenditure. These ideas have found clear confirmation in researches of the links between AC and blood sugar levels, biometrics data, blood pressure and other basic body indicators [9]. The main effect of diabetes is a lack of energy in cells with larger supplies of energy in the blood in the form of sugar. This factor results in an asymmetry specific for diabetes when, in departure from the norm, the TS of the right branches dramatically dominate over the left side. This situation is explained by the fact that with T1D there is a functional failure of the organs, which leads to an increase in the indicators of the right branches of the AC, which accumulate energy. Thus, according to TS asymmetry, the degree of functional insufficiency at the level of individual organs and physiological systems can be controlled by this a simple and effective method.
For patients with confirmed T1D and partially preserved pancreatic function in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, the most significant (R-SQ = 0.66) for practice regression model of relation with blood glucose levels was obtained, which is practically identical for men and women (Table 7).

Table 7: Stepwise regression model linking blood glucose levels with channels.
R2 (Adjusted) = 0.660, and the Standard Error (SE) of the estimate = 8.361 for n= 79.
*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01,***p < 0.001. AC = Acupuncture Channel; b = regression coefficient; r- right branch AC; l- left branch AC.
SP- pancreas; LR-Liver; ST-Stomach.
In this model, the right branch of the liver and pancreatic channel has the greatest positive influence vector on glycemic levels, the growth of which reflects the growth of glycemia.
In contrast, the left branch of the pancreatic channel and the right branch of the gastric channel have a negative influence vector. Thus, there is a kind of carbohydrate balance, on one side of which with the positive communication vector, which significantly reflects the increase in the level of glucose in the blood, there are LR1r and SP1r diagnostic points, and in the other bowl there are SP1l and ST45r, whose growth also reliably reflects a decrease in glycemia. Which of the bowls will weigh - in that direction the nearest change in glycemia will be? At the same time, changes in TS occur faster than changes in blood sugar itself due to the inertness of this process due to the buffer properties of the blood itself. Based on these observations, it is logical to assume the following scheme of reflex connections to the pancreas (Figure 6), where the right diagnostic point of the SP channel reflects activity B-cells, and the left A-cells. At the same time, the asymmetric growth of SP parameters of the right branch of AC corresponds to the proportional hypofunction of B- cells, which leads to an increase in hyperglycemia.
Figure 6: Linkage of points SP1 with the A- and B- cells of the pancreas.
Conversely, high SPI values characterize the presence of hypoglycemia. Normally these “sugar scales” are in constant motion (Figure 7) and form the endogenous biorhythm of the pancreas. Thus, optimal blood sugar values are normally maintained. The endogenous biorhythms of various organs can be determined from the data of several tests in the dynamics of observation using the programs of cosinor analysis [16,17]. Since these biorhythms have a fairly stable character, their evaluation makes it possible to predict the blood sugar level on the basis of individual mathematical programs for a while, which is important for adequate insulin therapy. Treatment based on the principles of chrono pharmacology is most effective when simultaneously reducing the dose of medication.
Figure 7: The principle of the formation of biorhythms in the AC.
In the event that in the course of several tests in the dynamics of observation the same monotonous indices are observed despite changes in blood sugar level - this indicates a complete loss of activity of B- cells of the pancreas to the production of endogenous insulin. In this case, we pay attention to other AC, which have a role in the formation of carbohydrate metabolism (liver, stomach, small intestine). Due to these systems, some compensatory mechanisms are included, and according to the test data in dynamics, they have the greatest spread of indicators (Figures 1-4). However, in such cases, the greatest practical importance is again the construction of the individual regression models, where by the maximal coefficient and the sign of influence the channels capable to minimize the level of glycemia are chosen for the subsequent regulatory impact. To confirm the hypothesis about the connection of diagnostic points SP1 with A and B pancreatic cells, of course additional studies are needed, but this hypothesis is confirmed in practice of treatment associated with a decrease in glycemia in patients with T1D.
Treatment
In T1D, the most effective reduction in glycemic level with the help of reflexotherapy is observed at patients with only a partially preserved function of B- cells. Such a condition is determined by the typical profiles of the test in the dynamics of observation, with a sharp rise in the indicators on the right branch of the pancreas. In addition, endogenous insulin or C-peptide is evaluated for confirmation. To reduce the glycemic index, we use the stimulating influence with modulated infrared radiation at a frequency of 28 Hz [18]. This effect on AC is always made on 2 points on the side with high indicators characterizing the hypofunction of the AC by the technique of “opening the lock” when the LO-Point (SP4) and the point of the “previous element” (SP2) are taken. Thus, by using Yang’s factor, we destroy Yin’s energy of “cold”, which characterizes the functional insufficiency of the channel and the organ associated with it. Our task is to restore the harmony in the body at the level of “left-right”. The duration of exposure is determined by the body itself as a “feedback” by the presence of a sudden pain response, usually after heating for 2-3 minutes. Such a response indicates that the gateway is open and the energy equalization process begins between the right and left branches of the AC. This process usually occurs within 15-20 minutes, after which we do a control test to assess the situation. It is interesting to note that after the “opening of the lock”, the process of equalizing energy has a wavy character, which can be clearly traced, especially in the presence of large asymmetry. At the same time, the “shock wave” when exposed to the right first causes an increase in the indicators on the left, then on the right. Such a wave effect with energy overflow can be fixed performing the control test immediately after the exposure with a period of 5-7 minutes. Therefore, indeed, the energy of the Chi in the body according to the canonical treatises has a similarity with the movement of the fluid, as we have many times been convinced. The clinical effect of this stimulation occurs after 15-20 minutes with the maximum reduction in blood sugar to 30-40% of the initial after 40-50 minutes. After 3-5 such impacts, both the level of asymmetry in the SP channel and the average sugar level decrease. In practice, we train the patients themselves to make such an impact on these 2 points on their right foot themselves, with the help of heating, lighted with a sandalwood stick. The choice of the method of therapeutic effect at the individual level is more effective to produce on the basis of regression models and factor analysis, which shows the contribution of each organ in the chain of carbohydrate metabolism in the formation of high glycemia taking into account the coefficient and the influence vector. In a number of cases with low activity of the pancreas, the exposure on the channel of the liver is effective in order to reduce the synthesis of carbohydrates. In other cases, a good effect gives an impact on the kidney channel - to reduce glucosuria. All these solutions can be made only based on the construction of the individual models based on the measurement in dynamics using the Akabane test.
Future directions
In addition, using self-learning neural networks (NGO) on individual databases, it is possible to estimate the blood sugar level with accuracy sufficient for home monitoring. Changes in the level of glycemia are always late because of the buffer properties of the blood. This gives a temporary opportunity to implement a preventive correction to avoid dangerous complications. Even more significant opportunities are opened with the application of the evaluation of individual biorhythms of interested organs and physiological systems. Thus, using cosinor analysis when processing individual databases, it is possible to predict the level of glycemia for several days ahead with the detection of dangerous time periods. They are formed when, due to interference of different periods of vibration of several sugar-bound channels, a dangerous situation is formed when their total vector from the regression model to the growth and blood sugar increases sharply. In this case, there is more time for targeted correction.
In general, the future development of this technology is associated with the creation of individual devices based on the Akabane test, which have a connection to the server where the data is processed [13].
• The Akabane test results with T1D reliably reflect specific changes in the body and can be used for early diagnosis and monitoring of the current condition
• The construction of individual regression models, ?valuation of correlation relationships and the test profiles in the dynamics of observations make it possible to identify the individual characteristics of each patient for his subsequent adequate therapy
• Based on the evaluation of the test profiles in the dynamics observation at patients with T1D in subgroup of patients with hypo function AC pancreas can be distinguished for its stimulatory reflex influence for decrease the level of glycemia
• In the formation of T1D an important role is played by AC Large intestine
