Glycemic (i.e. blood sugar) levels are a “vital sign” for Diabetics and failure to accurately monitor them can results in a plethora of chronic health conditions. Did you know that someone dies from Diabetes-related complications every 10 seconds? How about that fact that the same number of people die annually from Diabetes as from HIV & AIDS?
Clearly, the need to improve quality of life for those afflicted is a MAJOR priority for the healthcare industry. This presents a prime opportunity for Echo Therapeutics to help improve life for millions of people just like the company's mentioned above.
The company's core focus – Glucose Control – is widely viewed as one of, if not the biggest, factors in reducing risk for sufferers. Aside from death, a Diabetic loses a leg every 30 seconds somewhere in the world and 85% of these amputations could be prevented through improved care, part of which includes tighter glycemic control.
