[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1537695, member: 196898"] Nicotine Replacement patches work by transfer through skin, Skin breathes, and we perspire through it, I think acetone passes through it when in DKA. HRT patches, and steroid creams do too. Not sure if sugar will transfer, but maybe glucose or icing sugar may. I mean, alcohol is used for embalming (Lord Nelson?) and pickling so it passes the skin barrier, but may not get as far as entering the blood. The Glucowatch used skin sensing technology, but was not very successful as a product. There is rumour of a HeroSmart sensor that will read bgl levels without pricking the skin, but it seems to use magic juju to give the reading, so not sure about this claim [/QUOTE]
