Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 All the diabetics on the list you need to read this. To bad it is not here today. From The Readers' Digest, May 2012: A Blood Sugar Tattoo Diabetics, put away the bandages: A new technique for checking blood sugar could make finger pricks a thing of the past. Chemists from Northeastern University have developed a method for injecting tiny fluorescent sensors under the skin that detect glucose in the blood. Take a picture of the freckle-size temporary tattoo with a special attachment that fitds over your smart phone's camera lens, and a computer program then analyzes the photo and reports your blood sugar number. The tattoo method is still undergoing tests; it could be available in three years.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Don't get your hopes up. Over the years dozens of non-invasive methods of checking blood glucose have come onto the scene and quickly evaporated into thin air. I'm convinced these supposed new inventions and studies are simply a paycheck for a group of individuals until the next one comes along, and they get another grant for funding. Okay, maybe a little cynical, but the older I get, the more I see this as more fact than fiction.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Excuse my cynicism, but I heard of this some time last year and have not heard anything further about human testing or reliability. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Don Hansen Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 5:59 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: wish it was here now All the diabetics on the list you need to read this.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 It gives me the creeps to think about it. Ask if you want to know more, as I don't want to bring off topic material here. Vicki Meizinger -- I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
