Artificial blue light at night tells the clock in the brain that it is lunch time. It’s the same color temperature of the sun at 12:00 PM. It’s no surprise that this will increase the risk for diabetes, regardless of diet. Cortisol release at the wrong time will increase blood sugar. Since there are no other light signals present to modulate cortisol and other hormones, this signal wreaks havoc on the body. Diabetes, especially when poorly controlled, can damage retinal vessels and lead to retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to vision loss. To help mitigate this issue, wear NIGHT blue light blocking glasses, turn off overhead lights and try not to be exposed to screens after sunset and especially in the hours leading up to bedtime. #werunonsun #blockbluelight #blockartificialbluelight #blueblockers #diabetes #diabeticretinopathy #circadian #circadianrhythm #alan #quantum #quantumbiology
