Tears instead of Blood to Test Glucose? Wow!
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona are developing a new type of self-monitoring blood glucose sensor that would measure glucose in tear fluid, Testing may give an indication of glucose levels in the blood as accurately as a test using a blood sample, the researchers said.
"This new technology might encourage patients to check their blood sugars more often, which could lead to better control of their diabetes by a simple touch to the eye," said Jeffrey T. LaBelle, the designer of the device technology. (ANI)
