Abstract: Instruments measuring subtle energy levels in human subjects are becoming increasingly popular in complementary medicine. Gas Discharge Visualization is an instrument measuring fingertip electron emission, variations in which correspond to changing health levels in different organs and organ systems. Its characteristics in diabetes have not previously been determined. The purpose of this study is to compare Gas Discharge Visualization parameters of diabetes patients those of healthy individuals. Data taken from 138 diabetes patients, divided into three groups according to duration of patholgy, was compared with data from 84 healthy subjects. Three GDV subscales were analysed: GDV Screening, Diagram, and Right Left Symmetry. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune and urogenital systems. Dividing the diabetes group according pathology duration revealed systematic increases in values in all organs and organ systems. Also, our Bangalore based subjects seemed to have different norms from those originally used to calibrate the instrument. Differences between diabetic and healthy groups increase with increasing duration of the disease. Population norms require further investigation. Key words: gas discharge, visualization characteristics, diabetes
