Diabetes is a growing health concern, especially for women. Finding it early can prevent serious problems. Now, scientists have developed a simple, noninvasive way to check diabetes risk—no needles or blood tests needed.
This new method uses a special scan to measure sugar levels in the skin. It works by shining a harmless light on the skin and detecting small changes. The test takes only a few minutes and can be done at a clinic or even at home with a portable device.
Why is this important for women? Hormonal changes, pregnancy, and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) increase diabetes risk. Early detection helps women take action sooner, like improving diet and exercise, to avoid complications like heart disease or nerve damage.
Doctors say this test is especially useful for busy women who skip regular check-ups. Since it’s painless and fast, more people may get screened early. Research shows early lifestyle changes can cut diabetes risk by over 50%.
This breakthrough could make diabetes screening as easy as checking your temperature. Experts hope it will soon be available worldwide, helping millions stay healthier.
