Easy, inexpensive smartphone prediabetes screening could save lives
Around 96 million American adults suffer from prediabetes – which is more than one in three – but for a vast majority it's undetected. Current diagnosis requires a clinical blood sugar test or an at-home glucometer device. With access and cost a huge factor in testing for a condition that can have no symptoms for years, it’s no surprise that 80% of sufferers aren’t diagnosed until it develops into more serious issues such as type 2 diabetes.
