....the article in the health pages of the Daily Mail this week about a new gadget to measure blood sugars. It is some sort of implant that is put into the EYE :shock: . Apparently you hold up some sort of monitor to the eye and it then automatically tells you what your blood sugar is. This is supposed to be an improvement on pricking our fngers. Hmm. Not sure I'd fancy that one.
It does say it's still at the experimental stage but it made me laugh when it said this has been tested on mice. I just had visions of all these mice lined up, lifting a gadget to their eyes to check their blood sugars and then collecting their fifty quid for being a guinea-pig (probably leading to identity crisis at the very least) and then toddling off back under the floorboards.
Hmm. Perhaps I just have an over-active imagination. :lol:
