Hi I'm going to ask the Doc if I can get one prescribed, and save all those annoying pin pricks
It's the pinprick into the tip of the finger that tends to be more painful than the insulin injection when testing blood glucose levels.
A wristwatch monitor is available that avoids painful pinprick monitoring. It sits on top of a disposable gel disc that contains the same enzyme used to monitor glucose levels in home monitors.
Instead of testing blood directly, it draws glucose into the disc using a tiny electric current that flows between two terminals beneath the watch. Charged molecules move towards the electrodes as the current passes through the skin, dragging glucose molecules along with them.
In future, a microchip monitor implanted under the skin may provide easy and painless blood glucose measurements.

Arline, I agree that the drug companies sure dont want to lose business on their drugs, but I also hope we see stem cell in our lifetime. I am hopeful. Huggs Joanne :)
