New Device That Detects the Condition in Less Than Five Minutes
PHOENIX --
Details of a new method to detect diabetic neuropathy in patients in less than five minutes using their sweat glands was presented today at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 22nd Annual Scientific and Clinical Congress in Phoenix, Arizona by Aaron I. Vinik, M.D., Ph.D., F.C.P., M.A.C.P., F.A.C.E., Professor of Medicine and Director of Research and the Neuroendocrine Unit at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
The method, which has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), identifies sweat dysfunction in the hands and feet by measuring the skin conductance response through the sweat glands. This device also helps diagnose what type of diabetic neuropathy they have, which can guide the treatment.
