Treat Diabetes
With PlatinumLED Red Light Therapy
Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Diabetes Care
PlatinumLED’s red light therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate cellular processes that may benefit individuals managing diabetes. By enhancing mitochondrial function, this therapy can increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, leading to improved cellular metabolism and energy levels.
This boost in cellular activity has been associated with several potential benefits for diabetes management:
- Lowering Blood Glucose Levels: Studies have shown that a 15-minute session of red light exposure can lower blood glucose levels by 27.7% after two hours.
- Aiding Wound Healing: Red light therapy promotes faster healing of skin wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, by reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen synthesis, and increasing blood circulation.
- Enhancing Blood Circulation: Red light acts as a vasodilator, expanding blood vessels and enhancing blood flow, which is crucial for preventing complications like limb amputations.
- Nerve Health Support: Red light therapy can reduce neuropathic pain, decrease inflammation that interferes with nerve signaling, and promote the regrowth of damaged nerve cells.
It’s important to note that while these findings are promising, red light therapy should complement, not replace, traditional diabetes treatments. Individuals should consult with healthcare professionals before incorporating red light therapy into their diabetes management plan.
