According to a recent study published in the Journal of Biophotonics, red light therapy has been found to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. The study discovered that exposure to 670 nanometers (nm) of red light stimulated energy production within mitochondria, leading to increased glucose consumption. This resulted in a significant 27.7% reduction in blood glucose levels following glucose intake and a 7.5% reduction in maximum glucose spiking. The researchers believe that red light therapy could have long-term benefits for diabetes control and may help reduce harmful glucose spikes after meals. The study also highlighted the potential health risks of blue light exposure from LED lighting, which emits very little red light. This finding underscores the importance of considering light exposure in managing diabetes. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the full potential of red light therapy in diabetes management. [969a2f2e]
