Alteration of deformability and aggregation of RBCs can be detected with RheoScan system at earlier stages of diabetic complications.

It is also said that early diagnosis can be made using red blood cells for non-diabetic kidney disease and diabetic retinopathy. More surprisingly, the test measurement takes less than 60 seconds and can be tested with a very small amount of blood (6uL).
