🩸 New wearable sweat sensor uses pH to accurately track blood sugar during exercise. This noninvasive patch measures glucose and pH in sweat, overcoming previous reliability issues.

🔬 Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Penn State University, and King's College London developed the device, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

✅ Tested on both healthy individuals and patients with diabetes, the sensor captured real-time blood glucose dynamics during exercise.

💡 This technology could revolutionize diabetes management by providing early warnings for hypo-/hyperglycemic episodes and potentially serve as an early detection system for prediabetes.

🔬 MIT researchers are developing an implantable device for diabetes patients that contains insulin-producing cells, aiming to replace daily injections.

🔬 The device protects cells from immune rejection and has an on-board oxygen generator to keep them healthy, showing promise for long-term type 1 diabetes control.

🔬 In a new study, these encapsulated cells survived in mice for at least 90 days, producing enough insulin to manage blood sugar levels.

🔬 The team is working to extend the device's lifespan to two years or longer, potentially offering a way to "make drugs in the body instead of outside."
