Treatment method

• 20 laser treatments over 10 weeks
• The target area was the tummy, and the anterolateral flanks (love handles).
• Each treatment lasted 40 minutes with 20 minutes per area treated and a 5 minute rest period between applications.
• Patients were also put on a mild ketogenic diet and overseen by a dietitian.
• Normal research protocols applied. 

Note

The clinic where these patients were treated is also a research facility, so

information is consistently gathered. This information fuels research and

clinical case studies such as this one. Laser is the treatment of choice for pre-diabetes management, obesity management, and pain management.

With laser and diet, at the end of the 10 weeks, only 1 person was still considered to be a diabetic risk

With diet alone, 6 people were considered to no longer be a diabetic risk.

• Diabetes is and will continue to be a world issue unless we educate and inform.
• Diabetes is not just about diet.
• Is diabetes is both a psychosocial/psychological problem as well as a medical one?
• Laser is a viable option to managing pre-diabetes .
• Is there a new role for clinicians in the management of diabetes.
