[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2338183, member: 517232"] It's a little drum I bang every now & then but we can't be far away from the general public having access to their glucose readings through their fitness watch. Was listening to a radio show earlier in the week & they spoke about how the next generation of these devices can track BP, heart rate & perform 6 point ECGs. How they are working on the tech to upload this data to your doctors surgery in real time so your medication & lifestyle direction can be tailored to each patient. I know google recently abandoned the development of an eye lens for measuring glucose levels but you must think that there are boffins beavering away somewhere coming up with alternatives. I believe the Libre type devices are too instrustive for the general public but look at where that tech has come in the past 10 years. What I can't guage will be the reaction of the general public when they see what certain so called healthy foods do to their blood sugar. Once someone posts online about spiking to 9 after a bowl of porridge & others weigh in with similar experiences. Might be a challanging time ahead for the Nestles & Kellogs of this world. Interesting times ahead. [/QUOTE]
