Time to weep tears of joy for the sweet people! By sweet people I mean the not so lucky diabetics. The following information is gonna make them grasp the fact that their pain days are over. A biochemical engineer at the University of Western Ontario has developed contact lenses that change color in reaction to spikes and dips in the wearer’s glucose levels. Pack up those glucose meters and bid adieu to finger-pricking days.

The nanocomposite hydrogel lenses will allow diabetics to keep an eye on (pun intended) life-threatening deviations in their sugar levels without missing a thing.
