[QUOTE="secrettheatre, post: 82104, member: 17733"] Thanks again to everyone for all the comments. One thing that I'm particularly interested in, however, which hasn't come up, is the possibility of alternatives to test strips. I seem to recall a news story from a few years ago about an electronic device that measured BG through the skin; there seemed to be some doubts about its accuracy, however... As far as I can see, there are three possibilities in this area: 1. Something which reads BG through the skin, as above. 2. Something reusable (how would that work?!). 3. An implant of some sort, which maybe could be 'scanned' by an external device. I should leave it at that, lest I stumble upon something patentable... But seriously, given that it's already 40 years since we sent a man to the moon, can't we come up with an alternative to these annoying little pieces of plastic which are often oh so reluctantly extracted from their pots?
