# Diabetes-Monitoring Devices This Non-Invasive Device Helps Diabetics Keep Track Of Blood Sugar By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-05-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diabetesmonitoring References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/diabetes-glucose-monitor-microwaves/43194/) & [cardiff.ac.uk](http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/285076-microwave-device-to-monitor-diabetes) A group of researchers and scientists working out of [Cardiff University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardiff-snowcraft-the-lynx) in the UK have developed an innovatively designed new diabetes-monitoring device that is designed to make life a whole lot easier for diabetes patients, at least when it comes to being able to monitor their health. What's great about this diabetes-monitoring device is the fact that it makes it possible for people suffering from Type 1 diabetes to keep track of their glucose levels without having to extract blood. The device can be attached to the body using adhesives, and uses microwave emissions to [monitor glucose levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abbott-lingo). This diabetes-monitoring device ensures that sufferers of Type 1 diabetes can keep tabs on their health without inconveniencing themselves too much. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Non-invasive Diabetes Monitoring:** This trend focuses on developing diabetes-monitoring devices that do not require blood extraction, providing convenience and ease for patients. - **Microwave-emission Glucose Monitoring:** This trend involves the use of microwave emissions to monitor glucose levels, offering an alternative method for tracking blood sugar levels. - **Continuous Health Tracking:** This trend revolves around the development of devices that allow continuous monitoring of health conditions, enabling diabetes patients to keep consistent tabs on their well-being. ### Where This Applies - **Medical Devices:** The medical device industry can leverage this trend by creating innovative and non-invasive diabetes-monitoring devices to improve patient experience and compliance. - **Healthcare Technology:** The healthcare technology industry can capitalize on this trend by developing microwave-based glucose monitoring systems that offer a less intrusive and more convenient solution for diabetes management. - **Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry can seize the opportunity of this trend by designing and producing devices that continuously track health metrics, including glucose levels, for diabetes patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Non-Invasive Continuous Glucose Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noninvasive-continuous-glucose-monitor.md) - [Noninvasive Smartwatch Glucose Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-watch.md) - [At-Home Diabetes Monitoring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-biomed-a1c.md) - [Glucose Monitoring Biosensor Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stelo-glucose-biosensor-system.md) - [AI-Driven Diabetes Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diabetespro.md) - [Self-Adjusting Insulin Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insulin-system.md) - [Automated Diabetes Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-glucose-monitoring-system.md) - [Portable Diabetes Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspo-smart-insulin.md) - [Diabetic Health-Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onetouch-reveal.md)
