Noninvasive imaging could replace finger pricks for people with diabetes

Goodbye, finger pricks? Diabetes patients could monitor glucose with lightwaves.

Future versions of the noninvasive prototype may be as small as a watch.

Noninvasive imaging could replace finger pricks for people with diabetes

A noninvasive method for measuring blood glucose levels, developed at MIT, could save diabetes patients from having to prick their fingers several times a day.

Researchers use imaging to measure blood glucose levels

A noninvasive blood-glucose monitoring method developed at MIT could spare diabetes patients from frequent finger pricks and potentially replace traditional monitoring devices.
