This might be revolutionary for infants, and this is great!
More recently, implanted sensors can provide continuous glucose monitoring without unpleasant pinpricks, but these devices can be less accurate for lower glucose levels and are not approved for children.
That would be great… I got type 1 when I was 40 and one thing it made me think is how difficult it would be to be a parent caring for a child of any age with the condition. I can only imagine how displeased a toddler would be to be stabbed in the finger 10 times a day.
