A new device was developed by a British student. It can make it unnecessary to regularly check for blood sugar.

On the development, called "Smart Watches", Alan Poupjoy spent almost a year. This idea came to the mind of a student at Nottingham University when he wrote a job for a master's degree in the specialty "Design of consumer goods".

The device, which can be worn on the wrist like a simple clock, will beep every time the blood glucose level in a diabetic patient reaches too high or too low within the tolerable range. This will serve as a sign for the injection system built into the device, which will inject the patient with the right dose of insulin.

The 22-year-old developer from Ashby de la Zoux decided to resort to a non-aggressive method of controlling the level of sugar, because he knew about this disease firsthand - one of his relatives suffers from type 2 diabetes. Alan Poupjoy also believes that his device will be useful for women in the last period of pregnancy, as well as for people who are not able to control their blood sugar level independently.

Controlling the level of glucose in the blood is vital for everyone who suffers from diabetes. Such an aid as "Smart Clock" will allow patients to maintain sugar and blood pressure at a normal level, which will avoid hypoglycemia and other long-term complications.

Natasha Ede, an adviser to the British charitable center for the care of diabetics, notes that injections of insulin in the finger by the clock - is still a preferred method of controlling the level of sugar, which due to its high cost is available to a few. The device similar to the invented "clock" is already on the market, but it is very expensive in comparison with the traditional box with single injections, which are carried by most people suffering from this disease medicus. en.
