The disease and its hallmark symptom, high blood sugar, are known to have a number of risk factors like poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. But a growing body of evidence shows that there may be an unseen cause of high blood sugar: Electromagnetic radiation. And for people with diabetes, exposure to this invisible threat can be an even bigger problem.

Despite claims that electromagnetic fields are safe and that the radiation emitted from cellphones and other gadgets isn't a threat to human health, studies are showing that the risks are real. While its easier to ignore these risks than it is to take a second look at what our beloved devices may be doing to us, the truth is that convenience always comes with a cost. And with modern technology, that cost may just be your health.
