I think the QUANTUM™ stripe is kind of cool...



And on another topic, they're apparently developing a non-invasive continuous glucose monitor. It seems they thought they'd have it ready by 2018, but were unable to meet that deadline. They don't say why:

Trouble is, in the past three or four years, several medical device companies--Dexcom is the oldest; Freestyle Libre has been catching up, and there are others--have developed continuous glucose monitors; you've probably seen the TV commercials. They aren't completely "non-invasive", but you don't have to poke your finger every time you test. You only have to stick the probe on your arm once every two weeks. The Meta product evidently tests by squeezing the skin between thumb and forefinger. My guess is that the problem that's delaying it is inaccuracy. Freestyle Libre has accuracy problems.

You do have to squeeze it on your hand or earlobe. That is not really as "discreet" as many would like. With Dexcom, all you need to do is look at your cellphone. Your glucose level is transmitted continuously. I suspect this is the solution that will appeal to most people, even though it features a needle.

So we'll see, but...
