Abstract Several studies have shown that magnetic fields have various effects on the blood glucose level and diabetic complications. This paper systematically compares and analyzes the effects of magnetic fields with different parameters on blood glucose, insulin levels, as well as diabetes complications in different biological systems. The results show that although the effects of magnetic fields on blood glucose and insulin levels are variable due to the diversity of magnetic parameters and biological samples examined, the magnetic fields usually have positive effects on diabetic wound healing and osteoarthropathy, indicating their promising clinical application potential. Although the mechanism of magnetic field affecting blood glucose has not been systematically explored, there are evidences showing that magnetic field may affect insulin levels by affecting cell membrane, membrane proteins and Ca2+ concentrations. This will not only help people to understand the effect of magnetic field on blood glucose regulation and diabetes, but also lay a foundation for the systematic investigations and potential application of magnetic field in the treatment of diabetes and its complications in the future.
