NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GlycoMark, Inc., the exclusive provider of the GlycoMark® test, is launching live educational support for healthcare professionals through its website, http://www.glycomark.com, as part of National Diabetes Month. The new complimentary educational support will offer a live chat and video option via the website in November from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET weekdays for healthcare professionals to speak with GlycoMark experts. The website also includes access to expanded educational resources related to the GlycoMark Test for optimizing glycemic control in the more than 30 million Americans with diabetes.
"As a diagnostic company, we believe it is our responsibility to not only provide access to our test, but to also create awareness and educate clinicians on methods to improve glycemic control," said Hiro Ishibashi, President of GlycoMark. "By implementing this web-based educational forum during National Diabetes Month, we hope to provide healthcare professionals with greater access to resources for the betterment and wellbeing of patients with diabetes."
The GlycoMark Test, an FDA-cleared blood test that measures 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), is specific to detecting recent hyperglycemia and hyperglycemic excursions (occurring while fasting, postprandial, or both). The GlycoMark test complements A1C, a 3-month glucose average and routine test for patients with diabetes, by revealing improving or worsening control for the prior one to two weeks for a more timely assessment of treatment response and compliance.
