SINGAPORE: A local study has found that non-invasive magnetic pulses lower the long-term blood sugar of diabetic patients with excess belly fat.

The exploratory study by Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) involved 40 adult patients with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes, providing insight into a possible adjuvant therapy to tackle diabetes.
