Hi all,
Interesting article on NPR web site about Google being involved with diabetes. Not a lot of info but it will be interesting to see where this leads.

Yeah it's exciting that better technology is being developed. People often say Big Pharma is making too much money from drugs, but a company is entitled to a return on their investment, and if companies couldn't do this, there would be no innovation and research on better treatments. It's the same with devices. Google is a massive corporation, looking for investment returns, and this is a good area to invest in.

Great! I hope Google comes up with a diabetic watch; i know it will be hard to insert a recording needle in the skin without the risk of infection. Maybe there is an indirect way.
