As someone who has lived with type 1 diabetes for years, I am always on the lookout for new technologies that can make living with the condition easier. One particularly exciting development in this area is non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, and one company that stands out is Diamontech.
Who is Diamontech?
Diamontech is a German medical technology company specialising in the development of innovative solutions for health monitoring. Its aim is to provide a painless and convenient method of blood glucose monitoring that could significantly improve the daily lives of people with diabetes.
The technology behind the non-invasive measurement
The technology developed is based on Raman spectroscopy. This method uses laser beams to analyse the molecular vibrations in the tissue. This analysis makes it possible to determine the glucose content in the blood without the need for a finger prick or a sensor under the skin.
D-Pocket and the collaboration with Samsung
One particularly interesting product that is currently being developed is the D Pocket. This compact device enables fast and non-invasive blood glucose monitoring and is ideal for everyday use. The company is also working with Samsung to integrate this revolutionary technology into a smartwatch. This collaboration could make blood glucose monitoring even more accessible and convenient for millions of people.
Benefits for travelling and sustainability
For someone who travels a lot, like me, this new technology offers numerous advantages:
- Convenience: Wearing a wristband or smartwatch that continuously measures blood glucose reduces the need to constantly carry test strips, needles and other equipment.
- Painless: The non-invasive method eliminates the pain and discomfort associated with traditional blood glucose testing.
- Sustainability: Fewer consumables means less waste and a lower environmental impact. This is an important step towards more sustainable healthcare.
- Real-time data: Continuous monitoring provides more accurate and up-to-date information, which is particularly beneficial when travelling, where irregular meals and activities can affect blood glucose levels.
Final thoughts
Advances in medical technology give hope for a better future for people with diabetes. Diamontech is at the forefront of this development and I look forward to following their progress and benefiting from their innovations soon.
