TYPE 2 DIABETES MANAGEMENT
A study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates that soaking in a spa can help ease symptoms of diabetes for people affected by Type 2 Diabetes. Persons with that disease who spent half an hour daily in a spa for three weeks reduced their blood sugar levels, as the heat dilated their blood vessels, blood flow improved and the body made better use of its insulin (the hormone that converts blood sugar into energy). Benefits found by that study:
- Can reduce blood sugar levels by 13%.
- Ideal for individuals who are physically unable to exercise. (Immersion in a spa simulates the beneficial effects of exercise.)
- Increases overall sense of well-being.
- Promotes improved sleep.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS
HotSprings, I fell and the spa saved my life! The doctor could not believe that I did not need the Therapy Clinic! Using the spa 30 minutes to 1 hour daily did the trick! To say I saved $5,000 by not going to the clinic at $1,000 a month.
