Invasive measurement of blood glucose no longer necessary

[Northerner]

Diabetes patients traditionally monitor their daily blood glucose levels by using a conventional meter which requires blood sampling from the finger tips. The discomfort of pain and risk of infection can sometimes be a source of great stress and concern. A new method of measuring blood glucose using far infrared light has been developed by researchers who say that it is entirely harmless and non-invasive.

I've never considered infection - mind you if I worked in a hospital or anywhere public, I'd be dead scared - God knows what I might be exposed to!

When I went for my pre-op for my cataract op they always have to do a BG meter test, so I asked her if I could use my own bodger, please! They always hurt - when someone else does em!
