Somewhat puts me in mind of the vague Clinitest kit's colour chart of my yoof...? You didn't know the exact figures like you would with a meter or CGM nowadays...

Lol, I hope it doesn't turn orange when yer high..!

Not entirely sure if it's something that I read about a few years ago.
Basically the tattoo changes colour but only under a specific light source.
It requires this specific light to determine sugar levels via the tattoo.
Times may have changed and developments made but like a lot of things diabetes it may never actually become reality.

Well? In was thinking of a tattoo of a barcode...

But now after reading the blurb & looking at the video. They say the BS biosensors turn from blue to brown.

I'm even more convinced I'd get an image of a test tube with a colour changing tablet fizzing in the base..
