DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Patient ZZBKLGI
Patient Z.A., a 60-year-old woman, has had diabetes for 15 years, with worsening vision, peripheral neuropathy, and numbness in her legs and hands. She also had an infiltrate with pronounced hyperemia, swelling, and a necrotic center on the big toe of her right foot, but no pain in the area. Drainage was performed, releasing 10 ml of pus.

The patient was treated with IR therapy, mainly using GI, ZB, and KL emitters.

Result: The wound healed, and sensitivity in the lower limbs improved significantly. Numbness in her toes decreased by 90% compared to the initial state. An interesting observation was that after three weeks, her vision improved. The patient could read, something she had been unable to do for almost eight years before therapy.

No side effects were observed.

Comments:
The ZB emitter is recommended for diabetic retinopathy treatment. Since it is effective in treating diabetic retinopathy, it may also be used for its prevention. Therapy is very simple—only 1 minute, two to three times a day, and possibly once daily for preventive purposes.
