If you ask power companies and cell phone carriers how much electromagnetic radiation affects the human body, they’ll tell you it doesn’t at any normal levels. If you ask [Calvin Carter] and some other researchers at the University of Iowa, they will tell you that it might treat diabetes<\/a>. In a recent paper in Cell Metabolism, they’ve reported that exposing patients to static magnetic and electric fields led to improved insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice.<\/p>\n

Some of the medical jargon in a paper like this one can be hard to follow, but it seems they feed mice on a bad diet — like that which many of us may eat — and exposed them to magnetic and electrical fields much higher than that of the Earth’s normal fields. After 30 days there was a 33% improvement in fasting blood glucose levels and even more for some mice with a specific cause of diabetes.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The magnetic field was 3 mT and the electric field was 7 kV\/m. That sounds like a lot, but at sea level we normally experience about 120 V\/m, so it’s hardly the equivalent of grabbing a live wire.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the same effect occurred when the mice were exposed for only seven hours a day. You can infer then that one day, diabetics might just sleep under an electromagnetic field and have improved glucose metabolism.<\/p>\n

There’s some medical speak about why they think this works, but it was pretty dense on biology terms. The key phrase seems to be “modulating the systemic GSH\/GSSG redox environment.” GSH\/GSSG is the glutathione-to-glutathione disulfide redox couples, if that tells you anything.<\/p>\n

This would be amazing news for people with diabetes, especially if they don’t decide it also causes blindness, cancer, and restless leg syndrome. No more fake pancreas<\/a>! We don’t know, though, if the results would apply to type 1 diabetes<\/a> as it sounds like the mice all had type 2.<\/p>\n
