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

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 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.

Main findings

A type 1 diabetic male reported multiple instances in which blood glucose was dramatically elevated in the presence of microwave radiation from wireless technology and decreased when exposure ended. In one instance, both blood glucose and body temperature were elevated and remained elevated for nearly 48 hours after exposure, gradually decreasing thereafter.

Outcomes measured

• blood glucose
• body temperature

Limitations

• Single self-reported case; no control/comparator described in abstract
• Exposure characterization (frequency, intensity/SAR, duration) not reported in abstract
• Causality cannot be established from temporal association alone
• Mechanisms discussed are speculative in the abstract
