Good news for diabetics - blue light LED can accurately control blood sugar by illuminating the belly

As we all know, the treatment of diabetic patients usually uses drugs to control the insulin in the patient's body to achieve the purpose of controlling blood sugar. However, the blood sugar often becomes too low due to the drug being administered too hard, or it may cause damage to the brain or heart. A study conducted by foreign scholars may completely change this situation in the future. This research uses blue light LEDs to illuminate drugs in the human body, allowing them to turn into an "on" or "off" state, so as to more accurately control the amount of insulin and reduce harm to the human body. The research appears in the journal Nature Communications.

According to reports, the research was jointly developed by Imperial College London in the UK and the University of Munich in Germany. In the study, it was found that "Sulfonylurea" (a clinically used drug for diabetes) can be modified to change its shape after being irradiated with blue light LED. In other words, after diabetic patients take this modified drug JB253, it will not take effect immediately ( Pictured above, upper left), when he shines a blue LED on the skin (pictured above, middle, top), it will change the shape of the drug (pictured above, upper right), and start the drug to stimulate the body to release insulin. When the LED light is turned off, the drug returns to its original shape and stops working (pictured above, middle, bottom).
 
David Hodson, a physician at the Imperial College School of Medicine, said that this method can not only control the amount of insulin, but also reduce some complications because it allows the drug to start to work in specific parts of the body, such as the pancreas (bottom left in the picture above). This research is still in the early experimental stage, and it will take some time before it can actually be used on patients.
