Description
Anne Wevers, Silvia San Roman-Mata, Santiago Navarro-Ledesma, and Leo Pruimboom review trials of light therapy for type 2 diabetes, in work from 2025. The therapy shines low light on the body and has been proposed as an add-on to standard care. The team asks if it helps blood sugar, swelling in the body, and nerve function.
The team searched five data stores for trials where patients were split by chance. Results for the main outcomes were mixed and mostly short term, so the studies could not be pooled well. Gum outcomes, pooled across trials, showed small gains in gum grip and pocket depth. The team rates the proof as weak and calls for larger, more uniform trials before firm claims can be made.
