Epinex has prepared a series of corporate informational documents that we hope will provide critical data for our partners, collaborators, supporters, doctors, educators and investors concerned about the growing worldwide epidemic of diabetes and the problems and opportunities it presents to the healthcare industry.
Understanding Diabetes
This report presents a comprehensive introduction to diabetes. It reviews basic information about diabetes types, causes and current treatment, examines the prevalence of diabetes worldwide and the economic burden it imposes on healthcare systems, and examines some of the long-term issues that affect diabetes diagnosis and care in the coming decades. It concludes with a look at the current state of diabetes monitoring, one of the most critical issues in the control of diabetes, and looks to new possibilities for helping to stem the tide of this worldwide epidemic.
Glycated Albumin and Diabetes Monitoring
This report offers a complete review of the scientific and research literature relating to glycated albumin. It describes in detail the glycation process and the resulting structure of the glycated albumin molecule; the mechanisms by which GA causes damage to tissues in the body; and the connection to many of the most common and most devastating complications of diabetes. It presents a detailed description of the existing and potential clinical applications for a rapid test that measures intermediate glycemia using glycated albumin.
Towards a New Glycation Index
The first of the Company’s informational documents, this report was prepared by Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Vern Roohk of the University of California, Irvine. It reviews the history and development of diabetes monitoring, followed by a thorough introduction to the biological principles that underlie the G1A™ Rapid Diabetes Monitoring Index Test for glycated albumin, developed by Company co-founder, Dr. Henry Smith.
Diabetes in the Middle East
This report presents detailed information on the state of the diabetes epidemic in the Middle East. It discusses current trends and prevalence of the disease, efforts to control its spread, and treatment methods implemented in the region. Problems involving the management of diabetes specific to the region are presented, concluding with a discussion of the Epinex G1A™ Rapid Diabetes Monitoring Index Test for glycated albumin and its applications and potential impact on the Middle East diabetes epidemic.
