Genteel LLC, one of the largest Bioscience & Health Technology companies in the Pacific Northwest, is improving health outcomes for diabetics far beyond the US. The vacuum lancing device manufacturer announces another international distribution partnership, this time in the United Arab Emirates with DiapointME.

Genteel manufactures the only vacuum lancing device FDA-cleared for use anywhere on the body. With blood sample readings from palms matching those of sensitive fingertips, Genteel significantly reduces pain associated with blood glucose monitoring.

DiapointME, headquartered in Dubai, is a space for diabetes advocacy, education, and products. As an authorized distributor of the Genteel lancing device, they have joined the Genteel mission of providing relief from discomfort and fear through comfortable glucose checks.
