Image: The new monitor uses a laser to read blood sugar levels. The laser is directed at the person\'s palm, passes through skin cells and is partially absorbed by sugar molecules, allowing scientists to calculate the level of blood sugar (Photo courtesy of Princeton University, Engineering School).

Noninvasive Glucose Sensing Uses Mid-Infrared Light

A laser has been developed to measure people's blood sugar, and the technique could allow diabetics to check their condition without pricking themselves to draw blood.   More...
