Researchers Develop New Device That Could Allow Blood-Free Monitoring Of Blood Sugar Levels.

reports researchers have developed a new device that “could allow people with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels without the need for finger sticks or other blood sampling” by instead measuring glucose in interstitial fluid. The device’s potential notwithstanding, “researchers stress that the device needs further development before it becomes a wearable, simple, blood-free way to measure blood sugar levels.” The findings were published in Nature Nanotechnology. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-diabetes-bloodless-monitoring/new-device-would-allow-blood-free-monitoring-of-blood-sugar-levels-idUSKBN1HH3C7
