Taking a long soak in a hot bath may help those with Type 2 diabetes reduce risk factors associated with the disease. New research presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) suggests that regular heat exposure through a hot bath is associated with blood sugar control.

This is the first study of its kind to examine effects using a large number of patients who have Type 2 diabetes and take regular hot baths. Previous research has suggested that heat therapy could control blood sugar and body fat percentage, suggesting it could be used as a therapeutic tool for patients with Type 2 diabetes.
