Experimental Graphene Patch Analyzes Sweat To Determine Blood Glucose Levels.

“An experimental device might one day literally take the pain out of managing diabetes,” research published online March 21 in Nature Nanotechnology suggests. Researchers from Korea used “a substance called graphene to develop a thin, flexible patch” that “contains a variety of sensors that detect humidity, sweat glucose levels, pH and temperature.” The patch analyzes “sweat to determine ‘sweat glucose,’ which can be used to figure out blood glucose levels.” http://consumer.healthday.com/diabetes-information-10/type-i-diabetes-news-182/a-wearable-patch-might-help-manage-diabetes-painlessly-709149.html
