EMF Increased Blood Sugar of Diabetics, Reduced Insulin Secretion of Laboratory Animals

  • Blood plasma glucose of diabetics increased as measures of electricity (millivolts and microsurges) increased in the environment of patients diagnosed with diabetes. Fasting glucose increased from 100 mg/DL to 160 mg/DL as electricity in the environment increased from 0 to 60 millivolts (mV).
  • The diabetes observation was reported at the International Conference on Childhood Leukaemia, London, England, September 6-10, 2004 [9]. 
  • Secondly, reducing electrical pollution (high frequency electrical noise) by use of microsurge filters plugged into wall outlets resulted in blood glucose decreasing within minutes. Fasting blood sugar decreased from average 171 to 119 mg/DL.

  • Insulin use decreased from 36 to 9 units (Humlin 70/30) per day when the filters were installed in the home of an elderly person with diabetes.
  • While the number of patients was small, the relationship between glucose and electricity was strong. In a regression model glucose mg/dl, Y =  99 + 0.78 mg/dl per millivolt (pk-pk impulses) measured from internal wiring; the R2   = 0.75 to 0.83 indicate that electricity accounted for 75-83 percent of the variation in blood glucose over the range of 0 to 70 millivolts (mV).

Similarly, persons living near electrical transmission lines had significantly more cases of Type II diabetes than persons living farther from the transmission lines in Australia [2]. Results indicated that the average and the mean time-integrated magnetic field exposure (mGauss-hour) ranged from 6.4 at the lowest to 307.6 mG-h at the highest exposures in the two or three rooms in which occupants spent one hour or more per day on average. In addition:

  • Chronic illnesses and asthma were also linearly related to the flux density of magnetic field exposure, mG-h.  The report contained results from 112 subjects in each exposure category, 560 total [2]

  • These diabetes findings correspond with reports that insulin secretion from pancreatic cells of laboratory animals was reduced by exposure to EMF in three of four reports [15].
