Prickless blood sugar test on horizon for diabetics

By Rob Goodier NEW YORK (Reuters Health) â€" Eventually, people with diabetes won’t need to prick their fingers multiple times a day to check their blood sugar levels, if researchers have their way. Sylvia Daunert and her lab team at the University of Miami in Florida are reporting significant progress toward the development of sensors that would continuously monitor blood sugar levels without needing blood samples. Today, to keep their blood sugar in a safe range, diabetics must monitor those levels with a device that pricks the skin to draw a blood sample for testing. The other is that a biosensor beneath the skin could give continuous updates, rather than spot checks of blood samples.
