A Break Through in Diabetes Testing and Monitoring: Exclusive Interview with Asad Zaidi CEO of Epinex Diagnostics, Inc.

Not a day goes by without any news on diabetes. It is one the world’s most debilitating chronic disease. The number of people with diabetes is estimated to be over 500 Million, and it is increasing at an alarming rate of 9% every year. Diabetes is also rising more rapidly in the middle and low-income countries. It is one of the leading causes of death in the world. More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or pre diabetes, according to a report released in 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The report finds that as of 2017, 30.3 million Americans – 9.4 percent of the U.S. population - have diabetes. Another 84.1 million have prediabetes, a condition that if not treated often leads to type 2 diabetes within five years.

Looking for new developments in Diabetes arena and the wake of these harrowing statistics, we found Epinex Diagnostics, Inc., a small company located in the Irvine/Tustin area in Southern California that has been working on a revolutionary idea of testing and monitoring diabetes on a monthly basis. Amazed at this idea, we contacted Asad Zaidi CEO of Epinex for an exclusive interview.
