Tethys Bioscience and Lose it! Announce a Strategic Partnership to Support Diabetes Prevention
Date:7/2/2012

EMERYVILLE, Calif. and BOSTON, July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tethys Bioscience, developers of the PreDx® Diabetes Risk Score (DRS) blood test that predicts the 5-year probability of progression to type 2 diabetes among adults with prediabetes, and Lose It!, the consumer weight-loss program, are combining their technologies to improve weight loss and diabetes prevention.

"The impact we observed when our technologies were combined confirms our belief that an informed patient - one who is aware of the likelihood that they may progress to type 2 diabetes - may be more motivated to adhere to a weight-loss program."
