After diabetes no need to endure the pain of injections, they just need a tattoo. The researchers developed a skin using a mild electric shock to measure blood glucose levels of temporary tattoo paper.

In a study of four men and three woman in seven people in the lab against tattoos eating carbohydrate-rich foods, the results show that attached to the finger monitor (as shown) may be the same as the conventional method effective measure blood glucose levels.

The findings are published in the AnalyticalChemistry, the report pointed out that although some volunteers expressed in a tattoo when tested tingling, but the test process have not seen any discomfort. The device is currently unable to provide a digital readout, but diabetics can detect their condition on the card. Subsequent applications of the device may also include disease via Bluetooth to send information to a doctor. Currently, researchers are trying to make this tattoo, making its long-term operating costs at current levels pennies a day.
