Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light in the treatment of various medical complications associated with DM. The specific wavelength used during PBM is critical in determining the therapeutic outcomes for managing diabetic complications. This paper aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of PBM in the management of diabetic complications, focusing on blue, red, and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Relevant literature from Google Scholar, PubMed and ClinicalTrials databases from inception to date was searched using the keywords 'photobiomodulation', 'diabetes', 'diabetic complications', 'wound healing', 'neuropathy', 'retinopathy', and 'chronic wounds'.
