IIT Madras researchers have developed and patented a low-cost, user-friendly glucose monitoring device that shows readings directly on a microneedle patch. The reusable, energy-efficient system eliminates finger pricks and smartphone dependence, making diabetes management simpler and more affordable

Hyderabad: The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) researchers have developed and patented a cost-effective, user-friendly, and minimally invasive glucose-monitoring device for diabetic patients.

The most common method for checking blood glucose levels is via Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) that requires finger-prick blood sampling multiple times a day. It is effective, but invasive. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems represent an advance over SMBG, offering r
