• The vast majority of diabetes sufferers will
be able to use the mat without any issue and
should get a real benefit. However, diabetes
can be a complex condition sometimes
leading to other medical issues, hence why
we suggest checking with a GP first. In some
cases the GP may advise checking blood
sugar after the treatment is finished as
levels can sometimes be reduced as a result
of treatment. In some cases, such as with
diabetic neuropathy, the person may have
reduced sensation in the limbs and in such
cases massage or manipulation is not always
recommended because the individual is
not receiving the normal sensory feedback
to know what is comfortable and what is
not. There may also be an increased risk
of damage to weak blood vessels in these
cases. This should be judged by a GP on a
case by case basis, hence the statement we
make in our manual.
• There is no upper or lower height restriction
for use of the mat. By adjusting your position
on the mat it is possible for everyone to
benefit from the full range of motion of
the mat. Taller users would usually want to
have their bottom as close as possible to the
roll end of the mat but shorter users might
benefit from moving up a few centimetres
towards the head end of the mat.
• Do not place or store appliance where it can
fall or be pulled into a bath or sink. Do not
place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• Failure to follow the above may result in the
risk of fire or injury.
