The main goal of this research area is to identify distinctive patterns of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)s in breath and their dependence on blood glucose values in individuals with diabetes. VOCs are emitted by the human body, among which breath is the most important carrier. The breath contains a diverse array of VOCs that offer valuable insights into the body’s metabolic activities, including the glucose metabolism. This study is registered under NCT05933616 on clinicaltrials.gov.
