An implantable glucose sensor + telemetry system that continuously measures blood glucose via fluctuations in oxygen levels in tissue, developed by GlySens and partly sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, has successfully completed testing in pigs at University of California, San Diego. Human trials for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are scheduled in the next few months. Reuters--Wireless sensor watches blood sugar for diabetics. UCSD/Jacobs School of Engineering article.
