Being affected by diabetes makes life difficult on several levels. Yes, there is the sickness itself, but since there are remedies against diabetes there is a way to fight it, but that is quite stressful because the affected person has constantly control his or her blood sugar level which changes all the time depending on ones activities. To control the glucose level one has to prick ones finger several times during the day to extract a drop of blood that will be tested. The tech nerds at Google wondered whether there could be a more comfortable way. So now they are testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material.
