Engineers at the UC San Diego Center for Wearable Sensors have developed a smartphone case and app that could make it easier for patients to record and track their blood glucose readings, whether they’re at home or on the go.

A new simple tool developed by nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego, is opening the door to an era when anyone will be able to build sensors, anywhere, including physicians in the clinic, patients in their home and soldiers in the field. The team from the University of California, San Diego, developed high-tech bio-inks that react with several chemicals, including glucose. They filled off-the-shelf ballpoint pens with the inks and were able to draw sensors to measure glucose directly on the skin and sensors to measure pollution on leaves.

Skin and leaves aren’t the only media on which the pens could be used. Researchers envision sensors drawn directly on smart phones for personalized and inexpensive health monitoring or on external building walls for monitoring of toxic gas pollutants. The sensors also could be used on the battlefield to detect explosives and nerve agents.

 

Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego have tested a temporary tattoo that both extracts and measures the level of glucose in the fluid in between skin cells. This first-ever example of the flexible, easy-to-wear device could be a promising step forward in noninvasive glucose testing for patients with diabetes.

New Bayer Blood Glucose Monitor has a hidden USB and plugs straight into a Mac or Windows PC giving graphs and charts of diabetes control. The best thing are the colourful lancets, they really brighten up things, usually these are a boring white.

I don't like anything about this snapshot! I don't like having diabetes. I don't like taking my blood sugar. I don't like sticking my finger/arm/thigh. I don't like the high readings I keep getting despite eating right, exercising and taking my oral medications. I don't like that I will probably be on insulin injections by the end of the month. Diabetes sucks! BTW...November is national diabetes awareness month.

A very important part of managing diabetes is testing your blood sugar - glucose levels. No matter where you are (I was counting my inventory) you have to do it. After a while, it doesn't hurt anymore.

I am trialing the monitor for a month so im keeping an online diary to keep track and i thought it may be interesing for other people who are looking at using one as well.

 

This is the box that everthing came in. The training took about 2 hours and I hooked up for the first time. Now im waiting for the first 2 hour warm up period to complete before I get the first reading.

Stuff of the useful variety. Except the wireless access point was mistakenly selected, and is not the type that lets you use wifi in your home to access the internet. D'oh. And: It is for sale.

 

Glucose monitor, battery flashlight, flashlight, garlic press, jar opener, olive oil, wireless access point.

BACKSTORY: Clint's family did not go as volumetrically overboard with the Christmas gifts this year. Things actually fit on the table. Even though it was a smaller haul, we got lots of cool and useful stuff.

I know this isn't low for a lot of folks but it's the lowest I've been in over 7 years. 5 months ago my Blood sugar readings were in the 500s.

Countdown with me! 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 156! Yay! Not great yet, but a LOT better than 277!

Man giving himself an Insulin shot for Diabetes.
