As the founder of eNano Health, Winnie Lun Yuet-seung firmly believes that medical intervention is not needed as long as diabetes detection happens early on. Inspired by prevention and being proactive when it comes to detection, the 'Kiss and Tell' glucose monitor was developed.
Unlike many other devices that require finger-pricking and blood to be drawn for testing, this device is completely painless and puts people at no risk of infection. Kiss and Tell sets itself apart by using saliva to determine if a person's glucose levels are higher than they should be.
Although many people at risk for Type 2 Diabetes are unaware of why their glucose levels are so high, some of the factors include a sedentary lifestyle and a diet that includes too much sugar.
