Use of a Miniaturized Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Device for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Screening: Pooled Analysis of the Pilot ANODE01 and ANODE02 Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current diabetes screening methods are complex, inefficient, and inconvenient, requiring resource-intensive blood sampling. With the increasing prevalence of underdiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide, particularly in low-resource settings and underserved populations, affordable and sustainable mass-screening tools are crucial.

Methods

The accuracy and safety of the miniaturized near-infrared (NIR), full-spectrum spectroscopy Glyconics-DS System in detecting T2DM risk status was assessed by pooling data from two independent pilot studies: ANODE01 and ANODE02. Rapid NIR assessments of glycated nail keratin in 60 repeated spectral readings of fingernails from individuals with or without T2DM focused on detecting dichotomized diabetes risk status (glyca
