I've heard of this as a possibility. It's certainly an interesting idea. My biggest question would be about the chemicals that cause the reaction of the tatoo - how healthy/harmful would they be in the long run? Here in the states we have such a sue-happy mentality.

Also, where woudl you put it so it was easily accessible for you but not too obvious to other people?

That is cool! My only question is if they can also add something to tell when bg is too HIGH? The too low part is my thing though because I get low a lot!

Whoa LMAO I read the first sentence and was looking at the pic of the lady and thinking "no way am i getting a big old red tattoo like that on my forehead!!" :p

This is kinda nifty. But how would it alarm?? I mean, what if it's in your belly, you're having a romantic moment with a guy, and all of a sudden your belly starts wailing?? Kills the mood I'd think
