GlucoWatch to monitor blood sugar without pricking their fingers
January 2000
Diabetes patients are excited about using GlucoWatch to monitor blood sugar without pricking their fingers.
The GlucoWatch monitor will be the first of several non-invasive meters. It's worn on the wrist...and uses a tiny electric current to measure glucose in the interstitial fluid under the skin.
It gives a glucose reading every 20 minutes for 12 hours. An alarm sounds if the glucose gets too high or too low.
