Nano Tattoos Detects Blood Sugar Levels
This news item was posted in Health & Medicine, Sci + Tech category and has 4 Comments and so far.
If you were worried about having blood sugar not being normal or if you already have one of the two types of Diabetes, checking sugar levels consistently is something that is very important. It turns out you no longer have to go through unpleasant procedures to check your blood sugar levels.
All you would need to do is, get yourself a tattoo! Well, not a regular tattoo but get this tattoo made of Nano Ink and you could adjust your diet, your sugar level etc. The nano-ink blood sugar monitoring tattoo has been developed by draper Laboratories and the nano ink would allow the monitoring of blood sugar levels. It also uses glucose detecting molecule, colour changing dye, and glucose mimicking molecule.
It comes with colour codes and you would know when your blood sugar level is going up or down. It is not necessary to have a heart shaped tattoo and you could possibly have any tattoo you want. However, it is quite depressing to me at least to know that your tattoo is not about how well you rock, but how unwell you are!

I’m very excited about this technology – and by the way – not all diabetics are unwell, in fact, as a result of their disease, many diabetics take much better care of themselves than people who are not diabetic!

Dee, I agree not all diabetics are unwell. And yes, most people with conditions usually take better care of themselves, I would have to agree!

Hey San, I did not find any information about this being released commercially. I think it is still experimental. Their website does not give much information either. You could visit them here:

You could try to contact Dr. Heather Clark. Best of luck and take care!
