The development of cost-effective, simple, and reproducible tests for diabetes screening represents a priority of modern medicine in light of the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Besides fasting plasma glucose, the oral glucose tolerance test, and glycated hemoglobin A1c, several tests have been proposed, among them the assessment of skin fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS). This article comments on the article by Olson and coauthors published in this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology and comprehensively reviews related available information. Overall, SFS seems to represent an easy-to-use, noninvasive tool that adds value to existing tests for diabetes screening.
鉴于糖尿病患病率不断上升,开发经济高效、简单且可重复的糖尿病筛查检测方法是现代医学的一项优先任务。除了空腹血糖、口服葡萄糖耐量试验和糖化血红蛋白A1c外,还提出了几种检测方法,其中包括皮肤荧光光谱法(SFS)评估。本文对Olson及其合著者在本期《糖尿病科学与技术杂志》上发表的文章进行了评论,并全面回顾了相关的可用信息。总体而言,SFS似乎是一种易于使用的非侵入性工具,可为现有的糖尿病筛查检测方法增添价值。
