Researchers Working To Develop Necklace That Can Detect Hypoglycemia Sooner Than Continuous Glucose Monitors

reports researchers in Indiana are working to develop a necklace that might be able to warn patients with diabetes “of impending hypoglycemia 15 minutes or more before continuous glucose monitors notice a problem.” The necklace “would detect changes in the volatile organic compounds...that patients exhale as their plasma glucose level drops.” The findings were presented at a conference. https://www.mdedge.com/endocrinology/article/204006/diabetes/voc-sniffing-necklace-may-support-early-detection-hypoglycemia
