Magnetic therapy has demonstrated beneficial effects in reducing pain, nausea, neuropathy, and other health concerns in humans. To the best of our knowledge, limited research has documented the use of auricular magnetic therapy as a potential treatment for diabetes. This paper presents two case reports. Through the application of static magnetic discs to the pancreas and thalamus points on the ear, blood glucose levels were reduced, blood circulation was increased, gangrene healed, and retinopathy was controlled. Additionally, appetite control was observed. This case report presents a novel development of auricular acupuncture. The significant contribution of this case report resides in its potential application as a complementary therapy for preventing and treating diabetes, in conjunction with conventional Western medical practices. Acupuncturists and other medical professionals with acupuncture training can implement this method in diabetes patients in clinical settings. Consequently, a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial is warranted.
