Researchers have introduced an efficient diabetes detection method using a simple mathematical calculation from a blood test, proving its reliability and affordability in a study published in the Journal of Diabetes.
An international team of researchers headed by Associate Professor Dr. Johannes Dietrich from the Department of Medicine I of Ruhr University Bochum at St. Josef Hospital in Bochum, Germany, has shown that a mathematical calculation based on just two values taken from a blood sample enables the reliable and inexpensive diagnosis of diabetes at an early stage.
“In all three groups, we found that the calculated SPINA-DI correlated with relevant indicators of metabolic function, such as the response to an oral glucose tolerance test,” outlines Johannes Dietrich. On top of that, SPINA-DI proved more reliable than other calculated markers of glucose metabolism and allowed a more accurate diagnosis.

La Niña Conditions Expected to Develop by SummerTemperatures in the equatorial Pacific have begun to cool, indicating that El Niño may be gone by April. There’s a 55 percent chance that La Niña will develop by the summer. La Niña is sometimes associated with warmer and drier conditions here in Southern California, though last year was a La Niña year and it was historically wet. Climate change could strengthen La Niña and El Niño conditions through the end of the century, though by how much would depend on the emissions scenario.
