Glycomark®, Inc. Partners With Shiel Medical Laboratory To Expand Glycomark Test In The Northeast
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 28, 2017 -- GlycoMark, Inc. announced today a partnership with Shiel Medical Laboratory to expanded distribution of the GlycoMark test throughout the Northeast U.S.
GlycoMark is the only clinically available blood test that specifically indicates recent hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes. The GlycoMark test provides a clinically proven one- to two-week measure of hyperglycemic excursions, often related to post prandial glucose peaks.
“There is a surge of momentum for the GlycoMark test as more healthcare professionals, hospitals, and universities—both in the U.S. and internationally—recognize the utility of GlycoMark to indicate recent hyperglycemic episodes and glycemic variability,” said Hirotaka “Hiro” Ishibashi, COO of GlycoMark, Inc. “GlycoMark offers insight into hyperglycemia that traditional tests reflecting mean glucose levels, such as A1C, cannot.”
The agreement with Shiel Medical Laboratory provides even broader access to the GlycoMark test as it possesses a significant regional presence in the states of New York and New Jersey, and has now expanded into the Connecticut and Pennsylvania markets.
