Intra-Ocular Glucose Monitoring May Yet be Possible

Amy Tenderich, over at DiabetesMine, points us to technology being developed by Freedom Meditech, a company based in Cleveland, Ohio, that promises to allow non-invasive glucose testing through the eye by monitoring how laser light is modulated when it is directed at the aqueous humor, a chamber in front of the lens that is known to exhibit the presence of glucose.
According to the company’s previous press statements, their patented non-invasive ocular glucose measurement device “could provide an alternative to the current finger prick method of diabetes blood sugar measurement and monitoring. The consumer-ready product is planned to operate like binoculars with light being shined on one eye for less than a second and having a digital glucose reading displayed on the device.”
