Tattoos BeZz

In the near future people with diabetes will know the level of blood sugar simply looking tattoos. If until now the position is measured by a small blood sample, the new system developed by Gerard Cote, a biomedical engineer Dwight Look College of Engineering (Texas, USA), you can also avoid this hassle . The researcher studied special fluorescent microspheres that are injected under the skin in a similar way to the pigments of ink used for tattoos. Only difference: the microspheres do not enter cells, such as ink, but remain in suspension in the interstices, where glucose is deposited and binds to the spheres themselves altering its ability to reflect light. Illuminating the "tattoo" with a special light anyone will be able to control their blood sugar, related to color variation. The whole quickly and without needles.
