Diabetes is usually diagnosed when a level of 6.5 or higher is obtained from multiple tests over a period of time. The results from this device is not a definitive diagnosis of diabetes. A physician should run separate lab tests to verify personal tests performed. The earlier diabetes is detected and proper treatment is implemented, the better chance of less complications from this disease later in life. An interesting future study might involve one where diabetes is not one of the top 10 causes of death in the United States – what do you think?
