[Diabetes-talk] Google test new smart meter.

[Mike Freeman]

Veronica:

It got my cynicism quotient right up there, also. Sounds like the usual
trial balloon as well as a possible product. Moreover, how will the device
be kept clean? And ... there are plenty of folks who find putting in a
contact lens just as onerous as fingersticks.

Okay, check this one out! It sure woke up the cynic in side of me this
morning.
I'm pasting the link to the article but the short version is this. Google is
testing a non-invasive meter which is, wait for it! It's a contact lens that
is supposed to test using tear production. Now that ought to work well
sitting on artificial eyes, don't ya think. Obviously this isn't anywhere
close to being out and it's one of a zillion gee whiz promises, but wow.
Here's the link I found:
