Mission in a Minute

Did you know that World Diabetes Day is marked every year on November 14^th because it is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best?

1 in 10 adults worldwide have diabetes, and out of those, more than 90% have Type 2. World Diabetes Day was established by the International Diabetes Federation to raise awareness of both the risks as well as the opportunities to better prevent, diagnose and manage the condition.

Our Thermo Scientific Indiko Clinical Chemistry analyzers can help improve patient care by offering all the essential assays to health care professionals for diabetes monitoring, short- and long-term blood sugar testing as well as monitoring urinary albumin excretion.

Additionally, our clinical research business has conducted 59 diabetes studies over the past five years (Types 1 & 2) in both adult and pediatric patients. Our global presence of board-certified endocrinologists is well-versed in understanding and managing the unique challenges of diabetes trials, which can help customers increase their probability of success.
