Sapien: At-home prediabetes testing and management

Sapien provides an at-home blood test for the 88M American adults who are prediabetic. 84% of prediabetics are unaware of their condition, and without treatment, 70% will develop type 2 diabetes. Join the community today and take control of your blood sugar!

Congrats on the launch @aidandewar . Curious what kinds of intervention / treatment you recommend to people if their test reveals that they are prediabetic?

@aidandewar @benschecter Great question, Ben. We recommend that people work with their physician (we can also connect them with one) to develop a plan for sleep, diet, exercise, and medication. Then, they can use Sapien to test their HbA1c levels every 3-6 months and track how their blood sugar is improving over time.

Hi PH! 👋 1 in 3 American adults are prediabetic, but 84% of them don't know it. This is a serious problem because without treatment, 70% of prediabetics develop type 2 diabetes. Prediabetics are also at an increased risk from strokes, heart attacks, dementia, heart disease, and COVID-19. We built Sapien to give people everything they need to track and manage their blood sugar before they develop diabetes. With our $25 at-home test, customers can get lab-certified results back in one week, tailored and actionable insights from our team, and access to the Sapien community. While you may not be personally at risk for prediabetes, chances are you have a family member or friend who's one of the 88M Americans who are at risk. Sign up for our live beta today! Happy to answer any questions in the comments :)

This is amazing. Have you all considered working with insurers or employers for this as a benefit?

@kelley_halpin1 That's a great idea — definitely something we would love to offer ASAP!
