They’ve been working on this for years. I doubt they’ll be able to get the accuracy good enough to cover for an actual meter. Sure - the tattoo will help if you spike between tests but most diabetics are going to know somethings up by then.
A meter without requiring needles would be far better.
Even a meter isn't all that accurate. I've taken two readings in a row and they're not the same. I didn't do the math but they were probably within 5% of one another.

I'm guessing that someday they'll be able to take the reading with something like those things in the hospital that clip onto your finger and measures your oxygen level.
Yeah but the thing is sometimes the spike catches them off guard because it happens too quickly or when they are sleeping. This is a good idea if they can get it to work reliably. Loat a friend at 20 because of a spike that sent her into a diabetic coma before she could react to it.
I have adult friends with type 1 who have had it for years and they get pretty incoherent and confused if they start to go wonky, they often cannot think clearly enough to do what needs to be done on their own if they are alone.
