Newcastle team develops world-first lickable diabetes test, rendering finger pricks obsolete - ABC News
Interesting article here, on how researchers have developed a saliva test for blood sugars.
Not sure how well it would work, would you have to rinse your mouth out before testing?
The Australian government has announced $6.3million in funding to build a manufacturing facility for the tests in the Hunter region by the end of 2023.
So sounds like they may be quite close to a workable product....
They are talking about using it for insulin users, so presumably is accurate? Interesting development.
