Hi,

Out of curiosity, what is a PEMF machine?

Thanks.

Michael,
I have been using a PEMF machine which has helped tremendously in all areas of diabetes. You can rent one for a month or two to see if it helps you and I believe it will. They are expensive so rent before you would consider buying it. Your doctor could even write you a prescription for it so your insurance would cover some of it.
I would recommend the QRS or Bemer. But there are many out there

If you live around the east side of Tennessee I can recommend the person I rented one from. and he even may have an idea of who to rent from in your area.

Whenever I go to the ER and they tell me to rate my pain, I always tell them it’s at least an 11 or more and they scold me because they want just between 1 and 10.  I tell them that I’m trying to let them know it’s worse than that.
