Big News from DirectSens! We're excited to introduce our latest innovation, the XpressGT RUO Kit—a revolutionary tool for early detection of insulin resistance-related conditions, including Gestational Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Liver Disease. Why is XpressGT a breakthrough? ⚕️Targeted Detection Specifically measures 2-hydroxybutyrate (2-HB), a crucial biomarker tied to insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, key factors in the development of Type 2 Diabetes. 🔬Quick Results Get precise readings in just 8 minutes with any standard clinical analyzer. The Impact: Gestational Diabetes (GDM): Affects 10% of pregnant women, but current diagnostics often come too late. XpressGT offers the potential for earlier interventions, benefiting both mother and child. Type 2 Diabetes (T2D): Affecting over 400 million globally, early diagnosis is critical for preventing complications. XpressGT enables timely interventions, helping patients manage their condition and reduce long-term health risks. Liver Disease: With over 110 million Type II diabetic patients in the US and EU at risk, early detection of liver disease is vital. XpressGT could play a key role in filling this critical gap and improving access to care. David Stadler , our Innovation Manager, captures it best: "2-hydroxybutyrate is an often-overlooked biomarker with significant potential. With XpressGT, we're unlocking new possibilities for prevention and treatment." 🌐 Learn more about XpressGT® at https://www.xpressgt.com/
