IN-light
Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can have a major impact on your daily life. Many people experience symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, blood sugar fluctuations and more. With IN-light red light therapy, it is possible to alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Below, you can read all about what IN-light can do for you, including scientific details and a treatment protocol.
IN-light red light therapy is a non-invasive therapy. With IN-light red light therapy, we offer a way to address the symptoms of diabetes. This therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate cells and promote healing. The IN-light laser uses an intranasal application, whereby red light therapy is administered through the nose to reach the blood via the nasal mucosa. In this way, the entire body is positively influenced by the red light. This is what the IN-light laser can do for type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes:
The red light stimulates the mitochondria. This allows the cells to process glucose more efficiently, which contributes to better blood glucose regulation.
Red light therapy can reduce chronic inflammation. This is a major problem in type 2 diabetes.
By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, the cells can respond better to insulin.
This can help repair damaged tissue, for example in peripheral areas such as the feet.
In summary: intranasal light therapy, light therapy administered through the nose, can help to keep the body in better balance, improve the properties of the blood and stimulate blood flow in small blood vessels. This has a direct effect on diabetes and the associated symptoms.
By regularly stimulating the immune system and the body's natural balance, this therapy can not only help prevent diabetes, but also improve other problems caused by diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease.
In addition to the above benefits, the IN-light laser can do even more for you if you have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes.
There are also more additional benefits, such as improvement in peripheral neuropathy and retinopathy.
If pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes is not properly addressed, the consequences can negatively affect quality of life. Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which there is usually too much glucose in the blood. This happens when insulin production is insufficient or when the cells do not respond properly to insulin. Type 1 and 2 diabetes involve high blood sugar levels. When this is the case for a long period of time, problems can arise with:
How often
How long
Treatment period
Once or twice a day
30 minutes
As long as necessary. We recommend that you continue using IN-light, as it can also offer other health benefits.
From a scientific perspective, the red laser light activates a number of biological mechanisms. This can ultimately lead to improved cell and tissue functions.
Scientific studies have shown that intranasal laser therapy improves systemic homeostasis, blood properties, the immune system and microcirculation. These improvements have a direct positive influence on diabetic conditions and symptoms. However, the effects go even further than this.
From published evidence, various theories can be derived about the mechanisms behind this form of light therapy for diabetes.
Diabetes is a case of an imbalance in homeostasis. In this case, it is the blood sugar level. There are convincing arguments that support intranasal light therapy as a credible source for stimulating systemic homeostasis.
It has been known for decades that the aggregation of red blood cells, also known as RBCs, is elevated in the blood of diabetes patients. Intranasal red light therapy is able to eliminate the causes of this.
Many diabetes complications are the result of damage to the microcirculation system. There is evidence that manipulating the microvascular haemodynamics with low level laser therapy has therapeutic potential.
A study by Corbett et al. shows that nitric oxide plays a role in diabetes. It also aids in the release of insulin. Several studies support the expectation that red light stimulates the release of nitric oxide.
Type 2 diabetes develops when cells change, preventing insulin from properly binding to them. Researcher Makela describes in a report how diabetes and its associated complications develop. An important factor that worsens diabetes is the increased production of the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO). Light therapy with a wavelength of approximately 660 nm (as with intranasal light therapy) inhibits the production of MPO, which can lead to an improvement in diabetes and its symptoms.
Diabetes is characterised by too much oxidative stress and toxins in the body. Light therapy stimulates macrophages (a type of white blood cell) to release the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps to combat oxidative stress and thus improves diabetes. In addition, this therapy regulates the functioning of cytochrome P450 (an enzyme that breaks down toxins) and other substances, which helps keep blood sugar levels under better control and breaks down harmful substances (AGEs). This helps prevent complications from diabetes. SOD plays an important role in improving diabetes.
Many patients notice improvements after just a few treatments, but it can vary from person to person. Every body is different. It is therefore impossible to say in advance when you will see results. We recommend that you use the laser for a while first.
Yes, the intranasal laser is safe and painless. It is a non-invasive therapy that has been used for years.
For best results, we recommend using the laser twice a day, with at least 6 hours of rest between sessions. You can gradually build up to this during the first week. It is also important to use the laser consistently. This will allow your body to get used to red light therapy. Using the manual, you can determine exactly how long a session should be based on your weight. After a while, you can go back to once a day for a maximum of 30 minutes.
What does science say?
The essence of red light therapy is that it leads to photobiomodulation, also known as ‘energising living systems’. In scientific literature, many effects such as biostimulation, tissue regeneration, antimicrobial effect, strengthening of the immune system, anti-inflammation and pain relief have been extensively researched and documented. Laser light is able to stimulate the biological functions of virtually all cells, tissues and systems and provide them with vital energy. It stimulates the body's self-healing capacity, and with it, your life.
The saccharification of cells is a problem for everyone. HbA1c, haemoglobin A1c or glycated haemoglobin is a form of haemoglobin that is formed by the saccharification of the α chain of the haemoglobin molecule. In the bloodstream, a glucose molecule (non-enzymatic) binds to the N-terminal amino acid of the β-chain of haemoglobin.
This means that the glucose molecule binds to the haemoglobin molecule in the red blood cell. This creates a sugar coating around the haemoglobin molecule.
The result is that the red blood cell's absorption capacity is reduced. The flexibility and deformability of the red blood cell is reduced, preventing it from entering the small capillaries. The viscosity also decreases and the blood becomes more viscous. This also increases the heart's workload. The blood flow to organs and extremities decreases (including in diabetes mellitus), including to the pancreas. The pancreas is responsible for insulin production. This means that the organs receive fewer nutrients and oxygen, causing them to function less well or not at all. This is why the pancreas produces less insulin.
