Diabetes Mellitus (DM) represents a health challenge, due to its high prevalence and the morbidity that it entails, but because of the costs that its treatment implies. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic-degenerative disease characterized by defects in the action and / or production of insulin, which generates a hyperglycemic effect.The objective in the application of TENS is to decrease the glycated hemoglobin value by one percentage point with respect to its initial value through the application of external electrical currents TENS in uncontrolled type II diabetic patients. Electrostimulation is considered an alternative for the treatment of uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, since it produces a temporary, metabolic, morphological transformation of fast fibers or slow muscle fibers. With this, glucose metabolism can be controlled by its plasma concentrations and by a large extent of glucose transport through the cell membrane, thus being a treatment option that does not generate side effects for the patient, and does not generate high costs in your application.
