Abstract

Background: In recent years, the number of adults aged 20-79 years living with diabetes has increased more than threefold. Currently, the treatment of diabetes typically involves the long-term use of chemical and herbal drugs. However, prolonged use of chemical drugs may lead to side effects that can be detrimental to health. Therefore, this study aims to normalize blood glucose levels and restore kidney and heart cells.

Methods: The research was conducted using diabetic mice as experimental subjects. The treatment involved exposure to an alternating Magnetic Field with Magnetic Flux Densities of 0.3 and 0.6 mT for 20 min/day over five consecutive days. The frequencies of the applied Magnetic Fields were 50, 100, 150, and 200 Hz.

Results: The results showed that the greatest reduction in blood glucose levels (92.11%) was observed at a frequency of 100 Hz and an Magnetic Flux Density of 0.6 mT. Meanwhile, the highest increase in hemoglobin levels (81.11%) occurred at a frequency of 150 Hz and an Magnetic Flux Density of 0.3 mT. Other parameters that experienced non-linear changes included cholesterol levels, blood viscosity, and erythrocytes count, glamerulus and kidney cell density, and heart cell density.

Conclusion: The optimal effects of magnetic field exposure do not always occur at the same frequency or Magnetic Flux Density.
