It’s another solution for active diabetes sufferers to overcome diabetes. The Flex Insulin Pump was designed by Ellaluna Taylor, which acts as a “unique prosthetic skin” that is supposed to be worn under clothing.
It’s like a leech that sticks onto the skin firmly. This leech-like device needs to pair with a PDA-like glucose eReader for the management of the device. The device uses soft battery technology and the MEMS Nano Pump to achieve better dosage accuracy and reliability.
It may be best to work together with the glucose monitoring tattoo. While the tattoo turns into the color that indicates your blood glucose level is high, you’ll then need to start pumping more insulin into your body via the leech-like device.
