That is the goal of Eyesense AG and Capsulution Nanoscience AG (based in Switzerland and Berlin, respectively) who recently signed contracts to develop innovative devices to monitor blood sugar levels.

These products for a pain free and more reliable measurement of blood sugar levels are being developed under the direction of Eyesense AG. "The new product eases the procedure for frequent blood glucose level measures and helps diabetes patients to control and maintain healthy blood glucose levels.", said Dr. Peter Herbrechtsmeier, CEO of Eyesense. Thereby common sequela of diabetes, for example cardiovascular disease or loss of sight, can be reduced.

This is good news for diabetics who loathe the finger-stick method. I can't wait to see what these companies come up with.
