Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus may be influenced by light exposure.
- Insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function are hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes.
- Persistent high blood sugar levels are a characteristic of this condition.
- Light exposure could affect glucose metabolism through the modulation of vitamin D production.
- Circadian rhythms and melatonin secretion may also be influenced by light exposure.
- Changes in sleep-related behaviors linked to light exposure could impact diabetes management.
