Diabetes - Contact Lenses Monitor Blood Sugar

[Keltin]

Bumped into this early today and thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is dealing with diabetes. It sounds really cool. If they ever perfect this, I imagine it would have a profound impact on those that deal with diabetes.

That is so interesting, Keltin. I can imagine how helpful it would be to the parents of a young child with diabetes. too.

Actually, that whole site is great! I bookmarked it so I can check back daily.

My grandson has diabetes 1, and his glucose fluctuates from one extreme to the other. I sent this link to my daughter.
She is hoping to get him on a pump soon. It constantly checks the glucose level and automatically dispenses insulin as needed. It's quite expensive, but the insurance will pay for it once it's approved.
