Effectiveness of sinusoidal modulated currents used for dose-controlled phototherapy during combined treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus

A total of 54 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) were enrolled in this study. The group included 25 (46.29%) women and 29 men (53.71%) at the age from 48 to 69 years. The patients were examined by a variety of methods including both clinical procedures (clinical analysis of blood and urine, ECG) and special ones (characteristic of carbohydrate metabolism, measurement of glycated hemoglobin level, rheovasography (RVG), determonation of body mass index (BMI), etc.). Combined treatment included phototherapy and application of sinusoidal modulated currents. Results of the study give evidence that supplementation of standard treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with physiotherapeutic and phototherapeutic procedures significantly improves not only parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism but also arterial pressure, reduces the body weight, and has positive effect on diabetic angiopathy due to normalization of vascular function in the lower extremities.
