Know Labs Inc.’s radiofrequency sensor accurately classified blood glucose levels more than 93% of the time, a study published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics found. That’s good news for people with diabetes, who may be able to use the non-invasive technology to avoid not just the needle sticks that used to be the hallmark of diabetes management, but even the microneedles used in current continuous glucose systems.

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and their collaborators at The Institute of Cancer Research, London and the University of Cambridge assessed the health impact of all possible genetic changes in the tumor protection gene, BRCA1-associated protein 1 gene.

Serac Imaging Systems Ltd. is seeing encouraging results from ongoing trials at three sites, which are comparing its Seracam portable hybrid gamma-optical camera for medical imaging to standard of care nuclear medicine imaging, Mark Rosser, CEO of the company, told BioWorld.

The U.S. FDA reissued a 2022 draft guidance for clinical trial diversity at the behest of legislation from Congress, ballooning the previous nine-page draft to 23 pages.

Continuous glucose monitors continue to post positive results for managing diabetes in an ever-expanding population. Long a mainstay of disease management for those with type 1 diabetes, the devices have also proved themselves in treating type 2 diabetes that requires multiple daily injections of insulin.

Results presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando this weekend demonstrated significant reductions in blood glucose and insulin requirements in people with type 2 diabetes using Insulet Corp.’s Omnipod 5 automated insulin delivery (AID) system, providing a solid base for the company’s expansion into a much larger market.

A team of researchers have developed a blood test which uses artificial intelligence to predict Parkinson’s disease in patients up to seven years before symptoms appear. The test, based on the identification of eight biomarkers in the blood, will be able to identify patients who can be treated earlier with therapies to slow down the progression of the disease or even prevent it from occurring.

Hagar Non-invasive Glucose Monitoring Ltd.’s non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) glucose monitor, Gwave, demonstrated high concordance with both venous and capillary glucose measurements in a study published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics.

Criticisms over the U.S. FDA’s use of advisory committees led the agency to hold a June 13 public hearing during which FDA commissioner Bob Califf said the agency is working to improve the experience of special government employees who take part in these hearings.
