Electroceutical methods in the treatment of type 2 diabetes

The article presents the problems associated with treating type 2 diabetes with electricity and magnetism. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common disease that leads to significant body dysfunctions. The latest research presented in the article indicates the possibility of treating this disease with physical medicine, in this case, with electroceutical agents. The paper presents a review of the literature regarding the use of such methods in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The results of the research obtained after placing examined objects in electromagnetic, electrostatic and magnetostatic field show that the glucose level and diabetic neuropathy in rodents and humans were reduced and/or stabilized. Translating these results into clinical applications still requires a lot of research on larger living organisms and eventually in humans. The benefits of electroceutical therapy may not be overestimated, mainly due to the great simplicity of the therapeutic system.
