One of the most ridiculous things I read recently -- diabetes can be diagnosed with a simple pin-prick, so why spend time and effort on something like this?!

More from the article: "“We hope that with our screening process,” says Phillips, “we’ll be able to get to these people earlier and relieve the burden, not only on them but the public health system.”

And who is going to pay for the bees and take the patients to them for "testing". Finger pin-prick still wins in my opinion.

Reality: They’re testing this technology on diabetes to gain public approval. They’re planning on using it for *other* detection schemes.

Will the bees also administer insulin? Through their stingers?

Actually the bees helped me find out I had diabetes. We were camping in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona and I noticed the bees were attracted to my urine. So when I went to the doctor I had him run a blood sugar test and sure enough I had diabetes.
