DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - April 13, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB:PSID), an emerging growth company and developer of advanced technologies for diabetes management as well as sophisticated airborne bio-threat detection systems for America's homeland defense, today announced it is offering its FDA-cleared iglucose(R) mobile health system for diabetes management to rural healthcare providers, who care for approximately 62 million people in the U.S. To promote its awareness among rural healthcare providers, iglucose will be demonstrated at the National Rural Health Association's 35th Annual Rural Health Conference from April 17-20, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency Denver, Colorado Convention Center, in conjunction with healthcare solutions provider Merge-MD in booth #213.

PositiveID's FDA-cleared iglucose System uses mobile technology to revolutionize the way individuals with diabetes manage their condition. By seamlessly communicating data from glucometers to the iglucose diabetes management portal, glucose readings can be shared with family members and healthcare professionals, making it possible to improve care in a cost-effective manner. The iglucose system creates a variety of reports and communicates according to the user's preferences via online access, email, fax or SMS text. iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping logbooks and empowers individuals with diabetes to be more engaged in the self-management of their condition. iglucose does not require the use of a cell phone or a wireless plan.

"The response to iglucose from our customers and prospects is overwhelming. iglucose is a perfect rural tele-health solution for people with diabetes and those who care for them," stated Scott Griffith, Chief Operating Officer of Merge-MD. "Most people with diabetes need to be seen every 90 days, which can be a challenge when many endocrinologists and diabetes educators are located in major cities, not small towns. With iglucose, information can be shared at any time with healthcare professionals who are hundreds of miles away."

The iglucose system collects and transmits stored data from a variety of FDA-cleared blood glucose meters such as Johnson & Johnson LifeScan(R), Abbott FreeStyle(R), Bayer Contour (R), and Nipro Diagnostic(TM) True(TM) monitoring systems to a secure database via wireless cellular technology. PositiveID is continually adding to this list of supported glucose meters. For more information on iglucose, visit www.iglucose.com.

Biotech Company Develops Promising Potential Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity

New York, New York - April 12, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a biotech company snapshot for Sirona Biochem Corp. ( TSX-V: SBM , OTC: SRBCF, Frankfurt: ZSB), a company using arbohydrate-based molecules to develop Sodium Glucose Transporter (SGLT) inhibitors for Type 2 diabetes and obesity as one of its key products in its pipeline.

The company utilizes a proprietary chemistry technique to improve pharmaceutical properties of carbohydrate-based molecules.

Sodium Glucose Transporter (SGLT) Inhibitors - Diabetes & Obesity

Sirona Biochem is developing SGLT inhibitors for Type 2 diabetes and obesity. SGLT inhibitors are a new class of drugs for diabetes and obesity. They work differently from traditional Type 2 diabetes therapeutics which increase insulin production in the pancreas and affect metabolism. In the kidneys, SGLT inhibitors reduce the reabsorption of glucose into the bloodstream by eliminating excess glucose into the urine.

The kidneys filter approximately 180 gm of glucose per day from the blood which is then mostly reabsorbed back into the blood by SGLT transporters. SGLT inhibitors reduce the glucose reabsorption process, such that excess glucose is excreted in the urine, rather than reabsorbed into the bloodstream. That is to say, they can help regulate glycemia. This is a new promising potential treatment for Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Status & Milestones

Preclinical animal tests of Sirona Biochem's SGLT inhibitor for Type 2 diabetes are well underway with the positive results posted in the first quarter of 2011. Additional preclinical studies to test the safety and toxicology of this SGLT inhibitor are currently being conducted. Sirona Biochem plans to independently complete preclinical studies to prepare its SGLT inhibitor for human clinical trials. A pharmaceutical partner will be sought for clinical and commercial development of our program.
