The paperβs co-corresponding author, Zhang Wei, associate professor of cancer epidemiology and prevention at Northwestern University, said.
The study published in the journal, Clinical Chemistry, described the revolutionary new technology that used just a few drops of blood for testing.
βThis discovery is going to revolutionise how quickly and non-invasively we can identify potentially fatal complications in the hundreds of millions of diabetic patients worldwide,β Wei said.
