Now this is a phenomenal advancement in medical technology. Everyone has heard of Diabetes and how debilitating the condition is to many. The idea of sticking yourself with a needle for insulin purposes never did hit a pleasant note for anyone; but now, friends, there’s an easier way to monitor your levels to prevent problems resulting from Diabetes: introducing the “Nanocomposite Contact Lens,” a revolutionary way of treating Diabetes by infusing nanoparticles into specially designed hydrogel lenses.
What it does is actually change the color of your eyes! Think fashion sense here when dealing with contact lenses. The way it works is a reaction with glucose molecules found in tears. Naturally, if your glucose levels are getting somewhat low, the level of blood sugar content in your tears will also change. The chemical reaction between the nanoparticles designed to react with glucose molecules will result in a change in eye color due to the contact lenses.
The technology provides not only the medical aspect but a more personal note for you. There are no new developments regarding the types of color yet, though, but you can imagine how interesting it would be to see your eyes change color just like that, letting you know that there might be a problem with your Diabetes.
So there you go–dispense with the needle given you no longer need to draw blood. All you need to do, if you’re a diabetic, is simply look in the mirror! If your eyes have changed color, guess what, you need an insulin shot. Makes it that much easier to monitor your blood sugar levels and much more convenient, safe, and pleasurable than dealing with needles. Essentially, it’s fashion lenses made for diabetics!
