GOOGLE USA | Google has announced that it is testing a prototype for a contact lens that would help people with diabetes manage their disease.
In a press release distributed Thursday, the company said that the lens it is designing would measure glucose in tears continuously using a wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor.

Google says that using the lenses would be a less invasive method of measuring glucose levels than finger-pricking.
It also claims that the more frequent testing would consequently reduce the risks associated with infrequent glucose testing such as kidney failure and blindness.
===============
- Biotechnology is moving right along with the research to assist in monitoring one's glucose. We see acute concern being with the "safety" of the three main components. They are:
- Antennae
- Power Chip
- Sensors
- The data must be transferred - tracking device.
- What about "eye glasses"?
Innovation on the way - safety, cost, product life and durability.
What do you think?
