Way to go Texas A&M

Texas A&M is working on a new type of bg sensor.

I am not a fan of the current tech for CGMS. Though I am not sure how ready I would be to implant beads under Julia's skin either. I'm glad people are looking in other directions then the traditional "insert probe into skin" rather then continuing to try and improve that technology. Of course we have plenty of companies doing just that. That's not a bad thing, however I don't see how we are supposed to get better results when we know the issue with current CGMS is that results are delayed because the glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid is behind the current amount of blood glucose in the blood by 5-20 minutes.

We probably didn't give dex a fair shake when we tried it. It was only for a week, but the dang thing was never on target, or even within 20%. I'm glad we tried it before buying one because before that I really wanted CGMS. Julia also didn't like it, so I would never push for another go at it.

So even though there is at least 5 years to go minimum if the project that Texas A&M works, I am sooo hoping it pans out, and very glad that we have someone looking into another way.
