Contact lenses to detect BS levels.

[catherinecherub]

Diabetics may soon be able to wear contact lenses to alert them to variations in their BS levels by a change in colour.

Sounds similiar to the tattoo idea here:

Sounds like a nice idea but I can't see how this would work in practice. For one thing you'd have to be constantly looking in the mirror to check what colour your lenses are (could lead to accusations of vanity :lol: ).

And surely those colour variations don't offer that accurate a level. I rely on exact numbers to adjust my insulin dosage according to my carb/insulin ratio. I wouldn't want to have to rely on those pee-sticks that change colour.
