Type 2 diabetes? Here's how red light therapy can help

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions. It often has a major impact on lifestyle, requiring lifestyle changes. However, type 2 diabetes can be treated with red light therapy, which alleviates symptoms and tackles the condition from within. Read here to find out how and why it works!

What red light therapy can do for type 2 diabetes

Red light therapy is a method that uses red light with specific wavelengths to stimulate the body. This triggers the body's own processes, enabling it to recover and function better. In type 2 diabetes, there are various processes in the body that can be stimulated. You can read about these below.

Better blood sugar regulation

Red light stimulates the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells. This allows glucose to be converted into usable energy more quickly and efficiently. As a result, blood sugar levels remain more stable. Stable glucose levels contribute to more energy and less fatigue.

Less inflammation

Type 2 diabetes often causes chronic inflammation in the body. Red light therapy can inhibit inflammatory processes and stimulate tissue repair. This means that your organs can function better and the risk of long-term complications is reduced.

Improved insulin sensitivity

In type 2 diabetes, cells become less sensitive to insulin, causing glucose to remain in the blood for too long. Red light therapy improves this insulin sensitivity by reducing oxidative stress and optimising cell metabolism. This allows the body to process insulin more effectively, which in turn has a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

Healthier blood circulation

Red light stimulates microcirculation, i.e. the flow of blood through the smallest blood vessels. This ensures that oxygen and nutrients reach the cells more quickly and that waste products are removed more efficiently. This is particularly important for diabetes patients, as it can prevent or treat problems such as cold feet, tingling or neuropathy.

Which type of red light offers these advantages?

Intranasal red light therapy offers the above benefits for type 2 diabetes. In this form of light therapy, red light is administered through the nose. This is because the red light can reach the blood most quickly and effectively through the nose. As a result, the light therapy works throughout the entire body, offering a solution for systemic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

How intranasal red light therapy helps with type 2 diabetes

Red light therapy focuses on balancing the body's own processes. This makes it possible to treat systemic disorders. By bringing the light into direct contact with the blood via the nose, the cells receive an energy boost, oxidative stress is reduced and blood circulation is improved. All of the above benefits result from this. Find out more about intranasal red light therapy for this condition here.
