[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 477899, member: 85347"] Several years ago there was a device marked as the 'Glucowatch' which as its name suggests was worn as a watch and which monitored B/G levels though the back of the 'watch' which was in direct contact with the skin. It functioned by measuring a electrical charge as the blood circulated below the skin. Problem was that the 24 hour disk that had to be inserted was prohibitively high in cost. Google Medical have recently devised a glucose monitoring device built into the outer edges of a disposable contact lens that measures Glucose level in the fluid of the eye every few sesonds and which then transmits this data to a receiver, rather like a watch, that is worn on the wrist. The recorded Data can then be sent to a PC/Tablet or whatever. It's currently under development in the U.S. and is expected to be eventually released in about 2 years time after further refinement and clinical trials are completed. [/QUOTE]
