Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with impaired functional capacity responsible for significant reduction in quality of life. Phototherapy is a resource largely utilized to threat several disorders. Cardiopulmonary fitness impaired in DM patients may be associated with macro and microvascular dysfunction and consequently limited tissue oxygenation. The light-tissue interaction may improve muscular oxygenation. Recently, some studies with healthy humans have been show improvements on muscular function, fatigue resistance and exercise. We will show why phototherapy can be a resource in the DM treatment and some of our recently findings regarding muscular pre-conditioning using phototherapy by light-emitting diodes on muscle oxygenation.
