The future of Tethys Bioscience Inc.’s predictive diabetes test may rely on places like Burlington, Iowa, and small-town family practitioners like Dr. Michael AbouAssaly.
Tethys’ simple blood test, which scores the risk of pre-diabetics getting full-blown type 2 diabetes within five years, hit the market in early 2009 to scientific applause. The test, called PreDx (sounds like “predicts”), could help doctors concentrate on their highest-risk patients and change the course of the disease, according to Emeryville-based Tethys.
There’s one problem: getting doctors to give the test. Their focus is typically on treatment, not prevention, said Tethys CEO Mickey Urdea.
I've used a variety of meter brands and models and I u check blood glucose meter with 10 strips . It requires a much smaller sample. The smaller sample is 1. easier to get 2. less painful to obtain 3. and you won't have so many errors messages from having too small a sample, so you'll save money in the long run.
