Home Urine Test Measures Insulin Production in Diabetes ScienceDaily (Feb.

24, 2011) - A simple home urine test has been developed which can measure if

patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are producing their own insulin.

The urine test, from Professor Hattersley's Exeter-based team at the

Peninsula Medical School, replaces multiple blood tests in hospital and can

be sent by post as it is stable for up to three days at room temperature.

Avoiding blood tests will be a particular advantage for children.
