    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contact_Lens

    Google Contact Lens was a smart contact lens project announced by Google on 16 January 2014. [1] The project aimed to assist people with diabetes by constantly measuring the glucose levels in their tears. [2] The project was being carried out by Verily and as of 2014 was being tested using prototypes. [1]

  3. INR self-monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INR_self-monitoring

    INR self-monitoring is a medical kit that is used by patients both on long-term and on lifetime anti-coagulation therapy to measure their INR (International Normalized Ratio) levels themselves at your premises without going to a clinic. People who self-monitor their INR levels use a portable INR monitor as in a clinic.

  4. Blood glucose monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_glucose_monitoring

    Blood glucose monitoring is the use of a glucose meter for testing the concentration of glucose in the blood ().Particularly important in diabetes management, a blood glucose test is typically performed by piercing the skin (typically, via fingerstick) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a chemically active disposable 'test-strip'.

  5. Continuous glucose monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_glucose_monitor

    The original Freestyle Libre monitor introduced by Abbott Diabetes Care in 2015 was described as doing "flash glucose monitoring," with a disposable 14-day sensor probe under the skin (as with other CGM sensors), but factory-calibrated without requiring calibration against a fingerstick glucose test. The sensor measures the glucose level of ...

  6. Noninvasive glucose monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noninvasive_glucose_monitor

    Noninvasive glucose monitoring (NIGM), called Noninvasive continuous glucose monitoring when used as a CGM technique, is the measurement of blood glucose levels, required by people with diabetes to prevent both chronic and acute complications from the disease, without drawing blood, puncturing the skin, or causing pain or trauma. The search for ...

    Fasting prior to glucose testing may be required with some test types. Fasting blood sugar test, for example, requires 10–16 hour-long period of not eating before the test. [1] Blood sugar levels can be affected by some drugs and prior to some glucose tests these medications should be temporarily given up or their dosages should be decreased.

  8. YSI 2300 STAT PLUS Glucose and Lactate Analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YSI_2300_STAT_PLUS_Glucose...

    The YSI 2300 STAT PLUS Glucose and Lactate Analyzer (YSI 2300) was a Class II in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) automated analyser intended that measured glucose in whole blood, plasma or serum; and of L-lactate in whole blood, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In whole blood or plasma, the instrument could measure glucose and L-lactate ...

  9. Short-term effects of alcohol consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_effects_of...

    Death from ethanol consumption is possible when blood alcohol levels reach 0.4%. A blood level of 0.5% or more is commonly fatal. The oral median lethal dose (LD 50) of ethanol in rats is 5,628 mg/kg. Directly translated to human beings, this would mean that if a person who weighs 70 kg (150 lb) drank a 500 mL (17 US fl oz) glass of pure ...
