A January 2024 study by Ruhr- University Bochum said,
“Thirty percent of all people who suffer from diabetes haven’t yet been diagnosed and, consequently, don’t receive any treatment,”
“Diabetes sets in gradually, and our diagnostic options are not sensitive enough to detect it; moreover, they aren’t specific enough, meaning that false positive results can also occur,”
“We enter these values (insulin value and glucose value) into an equation that describes the body’s control loop for sugar metabolism and break it down according to a certain variable,”
“We found that the [calculated static disposition index] SPINA-DI correlated with relevant indicators of metabolic function, such as the response to an oral glucose tolerance test,”
“The new method is not only cost-effective, but also precise and reliable,”
“It could complement and, in many cases, even replace more complex established methods.”
