Here's an interesting statistic: more than 30 million Americans – that’s over 10 percent of the U.S. population – are suffering with diabetes. That's a lot of folks!

Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, is a chronic, lifelong disease that causes high levels of sugar in the blood. Most of us know that diabetes involves high blood sugar, but there are many other painful and life-threatening symptoms that accompany having this disease. Blood sugar is an often-underestimated component of your health. Diabetes affects your body’s ability to produce or use insulin, a hormone that allows your body to turn glucose (sugar) into energy. Here’s what symptoms may occur to your body when diabetes takes effect.

· Risk of stroke

· Risk of heart disease

· Risk of infection

· Visual disturbances (cataracts/glaucoma)

· Blood vessel damage

· Nerve damage (neuropathy)

· … among others

So, what does this have to do with PEMF therapy?

PEMF therapy protects neurons against apoptosis in cerebral ischemic stroke, protects ventricular contractivity (the heart’s ability to contract) even when under stress, has been proven to reverse effects of glaucoma and cataracts, and supports the immune system by giving cells the energy they need for optimum function. Nerve and circulatory are increasingly common in people with diabetes, often requiring the amputation of limbs. It has been proven that PEMF improves nerve function and microcirculation in patients with painful diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy. In some cases, patients that were approaching a need for amputation regained feeling and circulation, rendering amputation unnecessary.
