An Escondido engineering company has been selected to work on a prototype of a device that could make life easier for people with diabetes all over the world by helping them to keep better control over their blood sugar levels.
The device, which is wireless, wearable, and noninvasive, measures glucose levels in the body. It was developed by Better Life Technologies Group, which chose Escondido’s Fallbrook Engineering to build the prototype.
The levels of glucose will be measured by using gases that are emitted through the skin of someone who has diabetes. Since it will not need blood to do this, it can be used anytime and anywhere without the need to puncture the skin. Once the device is ready for sale to the public, a printer’s marketing services could help to promote it to those who may be able to make use of it in their daily lives.
Richard Meyst, who is the CEO of Fallbrook Engineering noted that the company is pleased to have been given the task, having been working in the field of product design, development and testing since 1981. George McKinney, who is Better Life Technologies Group’s President and CEO, remarked that his company is excited about being able to bring this product to the public, and he feels that it could bring about a huge change in how people with diabetes monitor and maintain their health.
