Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
There have been devices over the years that promised continuous blood glucose monitoring . However they all have suffered from a limited lifespan inside the body. That seems to be the challenge, and there is nothing in this invention that says they solved that problem. So, there is no news here.
Also, several have commented about Type II diabetes being caused by obesity. That is not the case. The cause has proven elusive. It is true that some Type II diabetes can reduce their need for insulin by loosing weight... but this doesn't work for all of them. Furthermore, some overweight people are NOT overeating. They may feel the judgment of people all the time, and it is wrong to do so.

As someone lifelong hypothyroid, and newly diabetic... thanks for mentioning that. :D
@cadcoke5 I know I'm late on this but engadget just emailed me about a comment I made above. It's a fact proven by research and touted by the American Diabetes Associate that obesity and lack of physical activity are two of the most common causes of this form of diabetes. That doesn't mean they are the only two causes, however.
As for why some overweight people do not respond to weight loss, our bodies can only take so much before they do not function anymore. This limit is different for different people. I am going to simplify, but when you are overweight, your pancreas has to work extra hard to make enough insulin, and you may not be as sensitive to insulin. That means it's producing insulin and not seeing any results. Eventually, your pancreas will give up making insulin all together. This is why diabetics with type 2 can start with metformin or some other oral drug but, if they live long enough without losing weight, they will generally all have to take insulin. At first their pancreases can make enough insulin, but they slowly lose that ability.
That is the most common reason why sometimes weight loss doesn't help. Though, that's not to say all people are obese because of overeating. In my experience, most people are obese because of poor lifestyles, though.
