it was interesting reading the Tattoo thread.
I don't know if it was mentioned but tattoos change colour depending on bg levels. It was proposed half a dozen years ago that dmers should have a tattoo which changed colour with low bgs and alerted them to lows/hypos.
Earlier this year an American company perfected the idea with a tattoo ink that goes purple with low bgs. It stores glucose and reacts to low levels.
so diabetics can have a tattoo which is a recognised symbol of diabetes in a generally agreed spot in case they are rushed into hospital AND use it as a monitor of bgs.🙂
