This is a cool invention that allows you to keep an eye more easily than the conventional method, by having a glance at the lovely tattoo on your arm or other parts of the body to learn your body’s glucose level to avoid diabetes.

This new technology is by the use of a nano-ink tattoo on your skin which allows you to monitor the glucose level of your body. But this consistent monitoring of your blood sugar level, you can adjust your daily diet for not taking too much food that contains high sugar level when your glucose level is nearing the limit.

The nano-ink blood sugar monitoring tattoo is being developed by biomedical researchers at Draper Laboratories. It makes use of super tiny nano ink particles which are squishy spheres about 120 nanometers across. And there are three parts inside the little sphere that ara capable of detecting glucose, which are the glucose detecting molecule, a color-changing dye, and another molecule that mimics glucose.

If the molecules mostly latch onto glucose, the ink appears yellow. If glucose levels are low, the molecule latches onto the glucose mimic, turning the ink purple. A healthy level of glucose has a “funny orangey,” color, according to Clark. The sampling process repeats itself every few milliseconds.

It’s nice to have a tattoo which allows you to easily keep an eye on your body glucose level and it’ll the best to avoid diabetes.
