Didn't everyone get that? :)]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/

I'll just get one on my wrist to replace my medical alert bracelet and CGM. Score.]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/Feb 17th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/
That does bring up some other issues though. How much would something like this cost? Would it need to be maintained? It seems obvious to me that it would be very different from a typical tattoo. I don't feel it can ever replace a meter. Why? Something like this can not give you a number to describe your glucose level. I can't accurately give myself insulin to correct a "yellow" blood glucose reading.]]>Feb 17th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/tattoo-like-nanosensor-could-monitor-glucose-levels-enhance-you/
You may need to think of that Other kind of Diabetes.

For us type 2s, a 'yellow' reading could send us scurrying to our meters to test, whereas now, there are thousands of type 2s who never test, or whose only actual testing takes place with a health professional watching us.

I'm getting this asap, and I'm thinking it would be in the form of some kind of medic alert symbol on my wrist. And if this is the sign of the beast then 1) you don't have a good understanding of your religious symbolism, and 2) would the standard North American diet & lifestyle be the beast?

I guess a rice size chip to control it would also be necessary...

Depending on the color scaling available, I can see myself getting a design with eyes that glow different colors -- "Yikes, my tattoo's eyes are red, better eat something..."

"If you can read this, I am slowly dying..."
