Diabetes is a disease that affects 371 million people worldwide, and 187 million of them do not even know they have the disease. In 2010, working-age adults made an average of 3.9 visits to doctors, nurses or other medical providers, down from 4.8 in 2001, according to a report released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Among those with at least one such visit, the average number of visits also declined, from 6.4. to 5.4 over the period.

Diabetes test on the Go is a kiosk which allows anyone to test their blood glucose any time of the day to see if they are in the early stages of diabetes which is prediabetic.
