Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is raising awareness of the prevalence of diabetes among adolescents to healthcare professionals with the help of Iron Man, the Marvel Super Hero. The character recently attended the Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics exhibition stand at the Diabetes UK conference in Manchester to promote early diagnosis and treatment to manage diabetes effectively.
Diabetes testing can be delivered at the point of care via Siemens’ DCA HbA1c test kit and DCA Vantage analyser. The test kit recently gained the CE mark as an aid to diagnose diabetes and identify those at risk from developing the disease.
Iron Man’s appearance at Diabetes UK follows the ‘Become a Diabetes Hero’ campaign by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics and Marvel Custom Solutions. The campaign aims to strengthen the awareness among healthcare professionals of adolescents with diabetes and the benefits of using the HbA1c test to detect the disease and identify young people in danger of developing the disease.
