Something cute this way comes

HAVE YOU HEARD!!!!

There is a new nano technology that will change your diabetic life FOREVER!!

I have wanted to get a tattoo for a long time and with the research that MIT has been doing me getting a tattoo will be more than just some cute design it will be able to tell me my blood sugar.

Here's the low down from an article released by MIT

The researchers plan to create an “ink” of these nanoparticles suspended in a saline solution that could be injected under the skin like a tattoo. The “tattoo” would last for a specified length of time, probably six months, before needing to be refreshed. 

To get glucose readings, the patient would wear a monitor that shines near-infrared light on the tattoo and detects the resulting fluorescence. One advantage of this type of sensor is that, unlike some fluorescent molecules, carbon nanotubes aren’t destroyed by light exposure. “You can shine the light as long as you want, and the intensity won’t change,” says Barone. Because of this, the sensor can give continuous readings.

CRAZY!

So.... I will be keeping an eye on this and will be keeping you informed. YAY!
