In-Ear, Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring

Very cool! I'm currently wearing a CGM. I already love these and find them super non-invasive (Freestyle Libre 3). It's a penny that sits on your arm and every 14 days you change it for 1 minute.

But this would probably be even cooler.

Do you think there would be other locations that lend themselves to this, besides ear canal? People already use their ears for headphones a lot, so it might be difficult to use for some.

Thank you for your comment! The main idea is to integrate this sensor with earbuds or hearing aids, since these are already widely used.

Oh, I see. Hope you succeed. If this technology makes its way into the Apple watch or AirPod we'll reduce T2D by 100 million over night.
