No more needles: Diabetics can now monitor blood sugar levels through tears or sweat with a new biosensor
The first step in fighting back against diabetes is checking to see if a patient does indeed have it in the first place. In most cases, this is done through tracking a person’s glucose levels through their blood, which means going with the conventional prick method. This entails performing a slightly invasive and not-so-painless method […]
