Does EMS Actually Lower Fasting Blood Sugar?
from Health Research Digest with Leo and Eva · host Leo and Eva
This systematic review and meta-analysis searched major databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane) and analysed 35 human studies, with nine high-quality randomised controlled trials (180 participants) included in the meta-analysis. Researchers measured effects using standardised mean difference on fasting blood glucose, OGTT and HOMA-IR, finding significant improvements (SMD 0.48 and 0.41). The study is highly legit because it followed rigorous Cochrane methods, assessed risk of bias, was registered on PROSPERO, and was published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Endocrinology by researchers from the University of Texas at El Paso. Read the full blog post to understand the practical implications for home EMS use, who benefits most, and how this research-backed technology may support better blood sugar management in everyday life. https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/ems-lower-fasting-blood-sugar-study
