New option for diabetes management

The glucose sensor is a small subcutaneous electrode that can take as many as 288 glucose readings each day, and can be worn for up to three days.

An insulin pump shows "real-time" glucose values every five minutes, and delivers insulin in a way that mimics the body. An alarm either vibrates or sounds when blood glucose levels are off, and tracks the amount of insulin in the body to avoid overdosing.
