Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is
affecting almost 8% of world population.
Approximately 50% of them are still undiagnosed.
People with diabetes have an increased risk of
developing a number of serious health problems
leading to death and disability. For example, in the
United States, diabetes causes more deaths a year
than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Other
common complications of diabetes may lead to
blindness, kidney failure, and leg amputation. Early
detection and proper management of the disease
may help to prevent or delay the disease and its
associated complications.
'Frequent body glucose monitoring, together
with healthy lifestyle, for example diet control
and exercise, may be the best medicine in
preventing or treating pre- or early stage
diabetes.'

Chief Scientist, eNano Health Limited
Daily High Glucose Monitoring
Doctors often recommend diabetic patients to test
their blood sugar several times a day at home.
Current home-based blood glucose testing systems
require finger pricking in order to draw blood for the
test. Even though the finger pricking is “almost
painless”, only a limited percentage of the patients
are compliant with the recommendation. Performing
the test multiple times a day can still be painful, time
consuming, can cause calluses and sensitive
fingers, and is difficult if you have visual or dexterity
limitations. The safety concern with breaking the
skin barrier also makes the current product not
desirable for wellness screening use at home,
schools or corporations.
‘Kiss & Tell’ is our award winning product that tests
for high blood glucose levels using saliva instead of
blood. Due to the non-invasive and painless nature
of using saliva to test for blood glucose levels, users
are more receptive to performing the tests multiple
times a day. As a result, users can personally
become more aware of how diet, exercise, stress,
or other lifestyle choices may affect their glucose
health levels, thus encouraging them to adopt a
healthier lifestyle that is best suited for them. The
product is ideal for Type II diabetic patients to
monitor their high glucose conditions.
Gestational Diabetes
Some women became diabetic during their
pregnancy. Once diagnosed, the mother-to-be
needs to monitor her glucose level multiple times a
day during her term of pregnancy. She may adjust
her lifestyle or even take medications to maintain
her glucose at healthy levels. Many of the
gestational diabetic patients are not used to the
blood or pain of finger pricking. Some may be
concerned with the risk of breaking their skin barrier
when conducting the tests.
'Kiss & Tell' offers these patients a choice
alternative by using saliva instead of blood to
monitor their high glucose levels.
Pre-diabetic or Undiagnosed Screening
Diabetes is sometimes called the “silent killer”
because often there is no obvious symptom. While
overweight or age may increase the risk of diabetes,
many Type II diabetic patients are at normal weight
and diagnosed as early as at their 30’s.
Approximately one in two diabetic patients is
unaware of the disease. There are two to four-fold
more people that are pre-diabetic. Pre-diabetic
people have high blood sugar level, but not high
enough to be classified as Type II diabetes.
Although it may take years for the progression of
pre-diabetic to diabetic, the long term damage of
diabetes to the heart or other systems may have
already started. Most of these risks can be
prevented or minimized with early detection, and a
combination of healthy diet, regular physical activity,
maintaining a normal body weight, and avoiding
tobacco use. ‘Kiss & Tell’ offers a simple, safe
solution for individuals to perform diabetic risk prescreening on a regular basis to monitor for the
potential or gradual onset of high glucose disorders.
Frequently Asked Question
What is the correlation between saliva glucose and blood glucose?
1) Saliva glucose concentration is highly correlated with blood, especially when the glucose level is above normal. Such

correlation has been studied in the past 30 years and published in multiple international academic publications. In our

If I drink water prior to 'Kiss & Tell' test, will this affect the precision of the test?
Hong Kong Science Park,
Drinking plain water will not affect the performance of 'Kiss & Tell'. In fact, if the user does not have enough saliva in the

the test.
What should I do if I see a pink color after the test?
The test strip shows a pink color in 5 minutes after the test when the glucose concentration in the saliva sample is
higher than normal. The higher the glucose level, the darker will the pink color be. If the results show a dark pink color
on the strip and if the user just has had food or sweet drink taken in the last two hours, the positive result is probably
due to the food or drink. If the test is taken at least two hours after meals or before breakfast and the result shows a pink
color, we suggest the user to re-test his / her saliva glucose again later (2 hours after another meal). If the results are
consistent, the user should contact his / her physician for medical consultation. The user could also consider making
changes to their lifestyle (e.g., exercise and reduced carbohydrates or sweets) and continue to use Kiss & Tell to closely
monitor his/her glucose levels.
