A researcher at MIT under a postdoctoral thesis, Michael Strano, is developing a new technology that would help people with diabetes ( focused on Type 1) to keep on track their sugar levels.
The main idea is a "tattoo" will based in this special ink crated by nanotechnology, this sensor is based on a carbon nanotubes wrapped in a polymer that is sensitive to glucose concentration, creating a fluoresce that can be read by a monitor ( a wristband perhaps), without need to get blood samples. Every six months the tattoo must be " re-touched"
Hope this technology gets available soon.
