A glucose test for people with diabetes that doesn鈥檛 involve pricking the
skin 2 to 4 times a day to get a blood sample has been developed in the US. Gary

infrared light through the tongue and measure how much is absorbed. As glucose
absorbs infrared at certain wavelengths, the amount of infrared that鈥檚 absorbed
tells you how much glucose is in the blood. They now plan to try the same trick
on the ear lobe. Mairi Benson of Diabetes UK says: 鈥淚f this could make for
easier and more effective management of the condition, we鈥檇 welcome it.鈥�
