This experimental study has demonstrated positive effects of low-intensity electromagnetic millimeter wave treatment on the development of experimental diabetes mellitus in mice. It was shown that repeated electromagnetic irradiation of the E-36 acupuncture point (daily 10 minute-long sessions for 14 days) decreased the blood glucose level in these animals, stimulated their locomotor activity, and increased life expectancy in comparison with controls. Possible mechanisms of action of low-intensity electromagnetic millimeter waves are discussed.
