For millions of people living with Type 2 diabetes, managing blood glucose levels is an ongoing challenge. While medications can play an important role, healthcare providers consistently emphasize that some of the most powerful tools for improving Type 2 diabetes involve choosing to change personal behavior, including healthier eating habits and regular exercise, and learning how your body responds to those choices.

The challenge is that most people don't receive enough feedback to understand what behavior changes are actually working for their body type.

That's one of the reasons PreEvnt is developing isaac®, a non-invasive glucose alert device designed to help people better understand the relationship between their daily decisions and their metabolic health. Using advanced volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing technology, isaac analyzes biomarkers in exhaled breath that correlate with blood glucose levels and delivers insights through a connected mobile app.

The Power of Lifestyle Changes in Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. Over time, elevated blood glucose levels can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system.

The encouraging news is that lifestyle changes can make a difference.

Research has consistently shown that losing excess weight, increasing physical activity, and improving nutrition can help reduce insulin resistance. As excess fat in the liver and abdomen decreases, insulin is often able to work more effectively. Exercise helps muscles absorb glucose from the bloodstream, while healthier eating patterns can reduce glucose spikes and inflammation.

For many people, these changes can lead to lower HbA1c levels, reduced dependence on medication, and, in some cases, even remission of Type 2 diabetes.

The question becomes: How do you know whether your efforts are making a difference?

Individuals with Type 2 diabetes often only receive feedback about their condition during periodic physician visits or lab tests. While HbA1c remains an important long-term measurement, it doesn't always help explain how yesterday's lunch, this morning's walk, or a week of healthier habits affected the body.

The vision behind isaac is to help bridge that gap.

Designed specifically to support people with Type 2 diabetes who are not dependent on insulin, as well as those with prediabetes, isaac will provide real-time awareness of rising glucose levels through a simple breath test. When paired with the isaac mobile app, users will be able to track readings over time, document factors such as diet and exercise, and generate reports that can be shared with family members and healthcare providers. This creates an opportunity to better understand patterns and identify which lifestyle changes are producing meaningful results.

Imagine being able to better understand how your body responds after a walk, a healthier meal, or a week of regular exercise. The more insight people have into their own metabolic health, the better equipped they may be to make informed decisions that support long-term outcomes.

Looking Ahead

Today, isaac is advancing through clinical trials and ongoing validation efforts as PreEvnt works toward FDA submission and review. The goal remains unchanged: to create an accessible, non-invasive tool that helps people better understand their glucose health and take a more active role in managing it.

For individuals living with Type 2 diabetes, knowledge can be a powerful motivator. And in the future, that knowledge may be as simple as taking a breath.

isaac® by PreEvnt is currently under development and review and is not available for sale in the United States.
