Novel
Noninvasive Breath Test Method for Screening Individuals at Risk
for Diabetes |
| |
These results suggest that this novel breath
test method may assist in recognition of pre-diabetes or early-stage
diabetes in at-risk persons without the need for invasive blood
sampling, thus making it an attractive option for large-scale testing
of at-risk populations, such as children (Diabetes Care) |
