Diabetes is a long term condition that causes high blood
sugar levels. It is estimated there are
more than 400 million people with diabetes condition in the world.
Doctors ask the diabetes patients to check often their sugar
levels. Many patients have to check their
sugar level several times a day. The
results help the patients and doctors to manage the sugar level.
How do we check the sugar level? There are diabetic test meters available. You
prick your finger with a small sharp needle and put a drop of blood on the test
strip. Then you put the test strip in
the meter and it shows the sugar level.
Putting a needle in your finger is painful. Lot of
diabetes people do not check their sugar level because they cannot withstand
the pain – prick your finger with a needle several times a day (for many
people). This results in their not
controlling the sugar level effectively.
Now we have a potential solution for this. There is a company called Freedom Meditech in
USA . They have developed a non-invasive, ophthalmic-based product to detect and
manage diabetes. It is called I-SugarX. The
I-SugarX is a handheld, ocular glucose measurement device that is intended to
provide people with diabetes a convenient, pain-free, and bloodless way to
monitor daily glycemic control. It will monitor changing levels of glucose
in the fluids of the eye.
Freedom
Meditech will be applying for FDA (U.S.
Food and Drug Administration) approval for this product soon.
Last
year, they got FDA approval for another product and it is already in the
Market. It is called CLEARPATH DS-120. It is a non-invasive medical device used to detect ocular
degradations that may cause blindness, cataract or other chronic disease due to
elevated fluorescence in the lens of the eye measured against age related
fluorescence.
I think
in a few years this I-SugarX will be a welcome device for all those who are in
need of checking their sugar level. It
is non-invasive and painless. We all can
throw away the needles and the strips.
Very interesting.

I have an acquaintance with high sugar levels..He Has a pouch kind of thing fixed for the day on his waist belt for the day which keeps his sugar levels as per needs.
Thanks for your comments Mr. Chowla. I think what you are referring to is the insulin pump pouch. This one is for measuring blood sugar levels.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing... This was quite informative!
ReplyDeleteIf this device is accurate, I am sure it will be useful to many diabetics patients around the world. I just wish such useful technologies are open sourced so that they can be manufactured and distributed for a lower cost in developing countries. With scale, it should be possible by this company too.

ReplyDeleteI hope they will approve it sooner. I know a lot of people checking their sugars all day. I feel for them.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is news to me.
ReplyDeleteI do know that orbital fluids are least affected by external factors - which is why they are of most importance in autopsy cases.
As for daily control, there are derma-strips which can measure capillary blood sugar.
Also, for early diagnosis, micro-albumin in urine is a sensitive test.
Keep us updated on newer products - we are definitely moving to a newer era.
Great invention! Thanks for this useful article SG.
