Choose a medical Condition that interests you and research it. Write about the possible uses of hypnosis in the treatment of the condition as you see them.
More than 2 million people in the UK live with diabetes. Another 75,000 have diabetes but don't know it.
Diabetes is now classified as a worldwide epidemic. Blindness, kidney disease, impotence and many other illnesses are often the direct result of out-of-control or undiagnosed diabetes.

The method is complex, but it can be described concisely. Hypnosis is your ability to convince yourself that something is true.
When you believe something, that belief is reflected in your thoughts, feelings and actions. So, once you use hypnosis to convince yourself that you prefer healthier foods and activities, then it becomes a habit to think and behave that way.
Think of hypnosis as a lever, a simple tool that can help people to remove blocks in their lives that were previously impossible to budge.
For each individual, the blocks are different. The mechanism by which hypnosis removes these blocks is that while in trance you have the ability to perceive things differently. When you see or think of something differently, its effect on you is changed.
Many people wonder if they have to do hypnosis on an ongoing basis. The answer is that it depends on the person and their situation.
Treatment Plan
Any diabetic patient will be attending a Diabetic Centre, where he will receive regular advice in blood-sugar maintenance, pediatric maintenance, weight maintenance, and dietry matters. All these will form part of a Treatment Plan, and it is the Hypnotherapists role, to plan a Hypnotherapy Treatment Plan to work along side, and support the Diabetic Treatment
