Levels’ Approach to Solving the Metabolic Health Crisis
In the United States, 8 of the 10 leading causes of death are related to high blood sugar. Of the 88 million people with prediabetes, 90% are unaware of their condition. Levels’ mission is to solve the metabolic health crisis by increasing accessibility to biomarkers, like real-time glucose, which are known to affect our health and risk of disease. Within the next five years, our goal is to shift the focus from healthcare to prevention, create transparency in the food industry, and provide individual empowerment through personal data.
In addition, Levels is conducting the largest ever study of its kind in collaboration with top researchers from around the world to increase understanding of glucose patterns among a wide variety of people (age, gender, and race) and advance the science about how lifestyle choices can affect these patterns.
