Hello, all, are there any bloodless glucose or blood sugar testing machines on the market? All of the ones I can find seem to use some sort of strip that you put blood onto. I am not able to get those strips easily here.
 
As far as I am aware we don't have such a thing as yet (stands to be corrected).
If you look at this link it relates to an American Co. who are trying to develop one - watch this space???

I too would be interested if anybody has any other info. I don't know the area you are in so can't advise any further.

Thank you for the reply. I am in Bulgaria and such things as test strips are difficult to get. I asked because I am visiting England shortly and if one was available I could have bought one.
 
there used to be a gizmo called the Glucowatch. does it still exist. As I remember this is a very costly item.
Also I don't know about its speed of response or accuracy.

That device the Glucowatch is I think mentioned in the link that I posted. I seem to recall it was not very successful, 50% of users experienced skin irritation and sores !!! It was discontinued in 2007. Hope that helps.
