Easy glucose monitoring for Diabetics

Canadian biomedical engineers have designed an electronic skin patch for quick and painless blood glucose testing for diabetics. We all know that the current method where blood is drawn from fingertips can be painful, inconvenient and time-consuming. The researchers, who have patented their device called the Electronic Mosquito, said the patch is approximately the size [...]

Glucose Nano-monitor for Diabetics

A new technology is being developed that can constantly monitor a person’s blood sugar level and alert them when they need an insulin shot. Nanosensors, injected under the skin, would trigger a fluorescent response when exposed to an infrared light, and alert a patient if they need insulin. The nanosensor technology could be used to [...]
