Objective To explore the effect of ear point pressing beans combined with cupping intervention nursing on obese type 2 diabetes patients. Methods A total of 90 patients admitted to our hospital from May 2023 to May 2024 were selected for the study. They were divided into a control group and an experimental group using a double-blind method, with 45 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received ear acupressure combined with cupping nursing intervention. The blood glucose levels, body mass index, and waist circumference levels of the two groups of patients were compared, and their blood lipid indicators and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were evaluated. Results After providing different nursing plans to the two groups of patients, the blood glucose levels of the experimental group were more stable, p<0.05, The patients body mass index and waist circumference were better than those of the control group, p<0.05, The experimental group was superior to the control group in evaluating the blood lipid indicators of patients, p<0.05. Conclusion The combination of ear point pressing beans and cupping nursing intervention for obese type 2 diabetes patients can improve the blood sugar level of patients, reduce waist circumference and body mass index, and improve the blood lipid indicators of patients, which is worth advocating.
