Could Sweat Replace Fingersticks? The Race to Build Truly Needle-Free Glucose Monitoring

Wearable sweat glucose sensor patch on a person's upper arm displaying real-time glucose monitoring data through a connected smartphone, illustrating future needle-free diabetes technology.

For millions of people living with diabetes, checking blood sugar remains a daily routine that often involves fingersticks or wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with a tiny sensor inserted beneath the skin. Although CGMs have dramatically improved diabetes management, many people still hope for a truly needle-free alternative. That …

After CGM, Is Continuous Lactate Monitoring the Next Big Breakthrough?

A wearable continuous lactate monitoring sensor displayed alongside a smartphone showing real-time lactate and glucose data during exercise.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has fundamentally changed diabetes management by giving patients and clinicians access to real-time glucose data. As a result, treatment decisions have become more precise, and many people with diabetes now spend more time within their target glucose range. However, glucose represents only one part of the …
