TORONTO: There is great news for diabetics. A revolutionary technology is on its way to help them measure blood sugar levels without drawing blood
The diabetes patients may soon be able to wear contact lenses that will continuously alert them to changes in their blood sugar level by changing their colours.
Developed by biochemical engineering professor Jin Zhang at the University of Western Ontario in Hamilton near Toronto, the non-invasive technology uses extremely small nano-particles embedded into the hydrogel contact lenses.
