Beware of small blurbs. <What NEC has developed is a new urine test that can give accurate results in just 10 seconds.> Accurate for what purpose? The renal threshold for plasma glucose is in the range of 180-200 mg/DL. Glucose won't normally appear in the urine until that blood level is reached. Urine testing, using either currently available dipsticks, or the apparently more quantitative NEC variety, is of limited utility in monitoring blood glucose fluctuations in diabetics because of this physiologic limitation. I would also suspect that introduction of this product on the U.S. market, for whatever indication, would require FDA approval.(?) Blood yes, urine no for accurate glucose monitoring.
