Diabetes mellitus is a well-known disease around the world. There are about 537 million people in the world with this diagnosis already.
In low- and middle-income countries, the incidence is higher than in high-income countries.
According to the World Health Organization, the disease will be the 7th most lethal one by 2030, which indicates its high prevalence among the world's population.
A person may not have the main symptoms of the disease, but that does not mean there is no predisposition, or the disease might be latent.
In order to screen for glucode-related health problems, blood glucose levels need to be measured.
Flash systems for continuous blood glucose monitoring - CGMs - are increasingly being used to diagnose and monitor the dynamics.
Measurement with these systems is painless, effective and does not require professional assistance.
Continuous monitoring allows monitoring the body's condition regardless of what the person does during the day, which means the device helps improve the quality and duration of life.
Standard glucose meters, which require frequent finger pricking, are a thing of the past, as progress does not stand still.
More innovative measurement products will prevail on the market.
The MLC Engineering project aims to create a simple and affordable CGM system prototype and distribute it around the world.
This, in turn, will help many people maintain their quality of life and prolong it.
