That’s the sobering conclusion of a study published Saturday in the journal Lancet that traces trends in diabetes and average blood sugar readings in about 200 countries and regions over the past three decades.” Read the whole story at washingtonpost.com

    Founder of TAT (@TATMobileUI), act first think later veggy entrepreneur, Malmö.
    Sees opportunities everywhere and loves seing how to create value from ideas. I love making signal from noise - be it market trends, a technology's use for consumers, or the value of an idea.
    I have a technical background which has always come in handy for in-depth understanding, but dislikes technology for technology's sake.
    Very passionate about startups and entrepreneurship in general.

    Founded Qubulus in June 2010 after a short incubation period within Mobile Heights Business Center in Lund by signing the first deal between a startup and TeliaSonera regarding patents.

    Proud to say that Qubulus has started a revolution in the Indoor positioning market with technology that is easy to deploy and intelligent to interact with that we can only expect even greater things from the Qubulus team the second year than the first.

    Being a new business and technology developer +12 years within high-tech environment has led to numerous of successful achievements within startups, helping companies to expand and become more profitable.

    Holds a masters degree from SLU where he learned how to recognize a shrub. Instantly.
