Do you want to check if you have diabetes or if the treatment you are undergoing for the disease is effective?
There is no need for you to get pricked by a needle. All that is required is a bit of your saliva.
Two physicians who developed the test and are world authorities on non-invasive tests for diabetes will display this in Vijayawada.
The US-based physicians Charles T. Roberts Jr., and Srinivas R. Nagella, who along with others in India developed a non-invasive test for the detection of a person’s propensity to Type-2 diabetes and the efficacy of a treatment to the disease.
The two physicians have developed a test to detect diabetes from studying the protein structure of saliva. Diabetes – 2012, a two-day symposium being organised by Yalamanchi Diabetes Research Foundation (YDRF), will be addressed by these physicians.
Symposium convener Yalamanchi Sadasiva Rao talking to The Hindu on Thursday said that over 1,000 delegates from all over the country would attend the symposium with the theme “Clinical Research to Practice” to be held at Aahwanam Function Hall, Kanuru, on July 28 and 29.
