Polish Doctor Creates New Breath Test for Diabetes

A recent article from THEfirstNEWS discussed the latest in rapid diagnostics. This particular test can diagnose diabetes using just a patient’s breath. It was developed by a 36-year-old doctor in south-eastern Poland, and is the result of eight years of development and testing. Current protocol for patients suspected of having diabetes is to answer a series of questions so that a physician can establish a risk score. If that score is above a certain level, the patient will either undergo a blood test or be advised to watch their health.
