The study aimed to illustrate the value of blood-let out cupping therapy in correcting early diabetic leg critical ischemia. Diabetic foot disease now replaced hyperglycemic coma as the major cause of diabetic mortality. The effect of medical treatment alone is far from ideal, especially in patients with diabetic foot complications; a high level amputation is inevitable. The real clue in a diabetic limb is preventing progress into complications rather than treating them. The challenge in the diabetic leg ischemia lies mainly in the accumulation of ischemic metabolites which would embarrass the micro-circulation by causing angiospasm. Withdrawal of these toxic metabolites and inflammatory mediators, being interstitial and diffuse, is not feasible via the available clinical measures; superficial scratching on the skin and suction by the traditional therapeutic cups is the only procedure..
