glucose measuring watch

Glucon Glucose Monitoring Watch - Gizmodo

Hi has anyone seen this before? Seems like a great idea to me.

I'm studying product design at uni and for my final year project I entertained the idea of something like this... I didn't realise it has already been done.

I haven't heard of this particular product, but I know the Glucowatch has been out for awhile now (it's a similar watch-like device). However, I don't think that it's widely used~ the results aren't predictable and I think it can cause skin irritation Plus, it's somewhat costly... I don't think it's worth it.

This one says it doesn't break the skin. Interesting...

It uses an interesting non-invasive technology :

I could be wrong but I heard that the company that makes GlucoWatch went bankrupt.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .

Say you want me
with you ,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go to . . .
Christine,
that's all I ask of . . .
(you)
