Now the heat of breath will be known whether there is diabetes or not, scientists made a sensor, result in 1 minute

Breath Test for Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease that starts to hollow the body secretly. It has to be given blood to get its test done and it can take 24 hours to come to complete results. But scientists have created a sensor, due to which the heat of breath will be found out whether a person has diabetes or not. This can become the cheapest and fastest way of checking diabetes and pre-diabetes. Researchers have developed a new sensor for this which measures the level of acetone present in the breath. Acetone is a by product of fat burn. If the level of acetone in breath is more than 1.8 parts per million, then it can indicate diabetes. India has diabetes more than 100 million people but half of them do not know about this disease. Currently, people are diagnosed after an appointment or lab test from a doctor, in which glucose is examined in blood or sweat. This process is time consuming and expensive.

Chemical engineering journal According to the report published in, although other respiratory tests are available for diabetes, but they still require lab analysis. While the acetone level can be measured directly there. In this, the person exhales only in a bag and later the sensor is inserted in it, then immediately checks whether the person has diabetes or not. James L. of Engineering Science and Mechans in Pen State. Associate Professor in Henderson Junior Memorial and Huanue Larry Cheng, the lead author of this study, said that we have sensors that can detect glucose in sweat, but we can do blood sugar test, but for this we have to sweat through exercise, chemicals or sauna, which is not always practical or convenient. In this sensor, only you exhale in a bag and immerse the sensor in it and get the results in a few minutes.

Millions of people benefit

Associate Professor Cheng said that the next step is to develop this sensor in such a way that it can be placed inside the mask or directly under the nose. He has said that now it will be ascertained how this sensor can be used in many types of health signals. If this happens, a significant improvement in the treatment of diabetes can be brought. Significantly, due to diabetes, about 40 crore people are upset, of which there are more than 10 crore people in India itself. The difficulty is that more than half of the people do not know that there is a disease of diabetes in their body. If the easy method of test develops, millions of people will benefit. Healthy lifestyle and regular exercise is necessary to reduce the risk of diabetes. Along with this, you have to avoid bad food outside.
