Radiation from wireless technology elevates blood glucose and body temperature in 40-year-old type 1 diabetic male

Pages 259-264 | Received 03 Aug 2016, Accepted 26 Mar 2017, Published online: 19 May 2017
 

ABSTRACT

A type 1 diabetic male reports multiple instances when his blood glucose was dramatically elevated by the presence of microwave radiation from wireless technology and plummeted when the radiation exposure ended. In one instance, his body temperature elevated in addition to his blood glucose. Both remained elevated for nearly 48 h after exposure with the effect gradually decreasing. Possible mechanisms for microwave radiation elevating blood glucose include effects on glucose transport proteins and ion channels, insulin conformational changes and oxidative stress. Temperature elevation may be caused by microwave radiation-triggered Ca 2+ efflux, a mechanism similar to malignant hyperthermia. The potential for radiation from wireless technology to cause serious biological effects has important implications and necessitates a reevaluation of its near-ubiquitous presence, especially in hospitals and medical facilities.

Notes

1 RF measurements made using HFE-35C by GigaHertz Solutions. Ambient levels measured using the UBB27_G3 Antenna, which measures levels of RF radiation from 360 degrees. Spot measures made during shielding using the LogPer-Antenna, a directional antenna.
