Early Diabetes Detection: A New Color and Light Method

Diabetes, a health condition marked by too much sugar in the blood, isn't always easy to spot early. Traditional signs like high glucose levels can change throughout the day or miss early warning signs. A team of researchers has come up with a clever tool that uses two different methods to catch diabetes early. They made a tiny probe that shines bright and also changes color. This probe can spot diabetes even if blood sugar levels are a bit high due to normal daily changes. The probe works by breaking down a sugar molecule into smaller pieces. One of these pieces makes the probe glow, while the other piece triggers a color change. This clever trick helps doctors see if someone has diabetes even if blood sugar levels are a bit high. The probe can catch diabetes with high accuracy, making it a valuable tool for early disease detection.
