Don't you hate having to stick your fingers 3 or more times a day to measure your BG? Well that maybe a thing of the past if a new method of measuring your BG works out. An article in the Hartford Courant said...
Instead of using a finger prick to test blood, the device measures glucose levels in saliva. It's easier and less painful, Petit said, especially for people who need to test themselves several times each day. Some people don't test themselves as often as they should, Petit said, because of the pain and inconvenience.Right now they are raising capital for clinical trials...
Fox, Mucci and Clark are the founders of the company. They brought Petit onto the management team to serve as the diabetes advisor. Among other tasks, he'll oversee the clinical trials when the device gets to that stage.
In a best-case scenario, Fox said, the device could be on the market in about two years.
