While I believe it's a great concept, I'm sure many a diabetic has used a hyperbaric chamber for issues related to infection etc. If it was a sound practice the doctors and patients would have been in leading medical journals, and on rooftops extolling the benefits of hyperbaric chambers for diabetic cure. Hyperbaric chamber treatment is not cheap. Sounds to me the doc might be either an idiot for not thinking this through, or simply looking at his bank account and seeing how much he can add to it from these treatments.
