Introduction

As anyone diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus will tell you, pricking yourself andsticking yourself with a needle up to 8 times a day is far from optimal. Thetraditional method for Diabetes treatment is to check your blood sugar 4 times a day, and then administer a specified dose of insulin based on the blood sugarlevel detected. Each insulin shot administered helps to control blood sugar butit also causes a shock to the system and can cause a cumulative, negativeeffect on the organs of the body. Doctors have been working for years on abetter approach. Finally advances in electronics and reed technology havehelped to dramatically improve the whole approach. MEDER’s micro-machinedhermetically sealed reed sensor represents a key component to help make thisnew approach possible.
