Innovative Fashion Tattoo To Act As Diabetes Monitor
Gone are the days where tattoos were just for fashion, and now a new nano ink particle tattoo will 
help diabetics eliminate the need for painful fingertip testing strips.
Recently developed by scientist Heather Clarke from Draper Laboratories, is the nano ink particle tattoo which samples glucose levels in the skin and changes colors to give accurate glucose readings. This will improve the quality of life of diabetics, who will no longer need to rely on regulated glucose testing, since a permanent built in tattoo will show them their glucose readings automatically so they can make the appropriate adjustments with insulin injections or seek a doctor's care when necessary.
This innovative nano particle tattoo is both an interesting fashion statement and a cutting-edge improvement for healthcare.

Submitted on May 20th, 2009 by AnonymousInteresting post about promising research. Diabetes monitoring without having to frequently draw a drop of blood from your finger could be a welcome lifestyle improvement for many. We write extensively about related issues at http://dentistryfordiabetics.com/blog, especially the links between elevated blood sugar and gum disease that can interfere with diabetes control and significantly increase risk of serious health events such as heart attack, stroke and blindness.
