A Different Kind of Medical Alert

Alternative Diabetes Medical ID

Just in case traditional diabetic medical alert jewelry simply won’t cut for you; this guy is showing off his diabetes tattoo.

…I found the jewelry aggravating..

he stated on the ( excellent ) tudiabetes forum.

On a less fashionable but maybe more practical note Chemical engineers at MIT are working on a tattoo that consists of nano-particles, which are designed to detect glucose and are injected below the skin.

He is also not the first one to come up with the idea as seen by Travis in Inked For Diabetes.
