A recent development in the medical world has found a way to use tattoos to help diabetics monitor their blood sugar. People suffering with diabetes have to constantly be pricking their skin to test their blood throughout the day. A professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University in Boston developed the tattoo monitor to help make life easier for the twenty-six million Americans that currently live with the disease.
The patient just has to scan the tattoo with a handheld device to check the color of the beads. That’ll let them know what their blood sugar reading is.
The worst part is it has to go through about a decade of clinical trials before most diabetics will be able to use the tool. Seems kind of ridiculous for a non-narcotic treatment that can help so many people now.
