Tests glocuse, dryness, temperature and other values in mouth
during hyper hypo and normal glucose levels and during rapid
rising or descending glucose levels.
Possibly can tell how many carbs/calories you are eating.
To replace or at least assist with constant blood glucose

not enough info here on product or how it works. I
am type one diabetic and I have to know how many
carbs I am eating in order to take insulin. So I
don’t understand this… |
|
| |
What's the mechanism? You know levels of glucose in
saliva aren't at all well correlated with blood glucose and
they swing wildly whenever and after you eat? |
|
| |
Could be a large heavy metal ball with long needle-sharp spikes, which would take a blood sample. |
|
| |
It's an artificial tooth. Probably blue. |
|
| |
//Like a permanent fixture in the mouth, or an add- on to
existing oral thermometer? Or a disposable test-strip?// |
|
| |
Yes, or perhaps something else. |
|
| |
Care to explain how this is going to work? |
|
| |
I test several times a day and inject insulin at least 3,
sometimes 4 or 5 times a day, to manage my BGLs. |
|
| |
Oral glucose levels would have absolutely no correlation
to blood serum levels if, for example, you had just eaten
rice or potato or grain products. |
|
| |
This one seems like a bit of a "I don't know what I'm
talking about so, fuck it, I'm gonna toss a "Hail Mary" and
run." |
|
| |
Ah, but do you have a tounge? |
|
| |
I do, [xenzag]. I practise my fricative sounds with it, while I
sit on my luonge at night. |
|

I have the same question[UB]. I wear an insulin
pump and must test more than several times a day
to keep my sugar in check. i’ve tried a continuous
monitoring glucose system which is another thing
to stick into your body, but the alarms woke me up
at night and did not work well with my insomnia. I
promised my doctor I would try it again and it
would be great not to have to prick my finger 10
times a day. That is why I was also curious about
this idea. But people who can’t answer a question
about their idea Probably haven’t really thought it
out well. |

Dang, we're going to have to create a diabetics' sub-
cupboard here at the bakery. |
|
| |
I'm fortunate with my diabetes (type 3c) that I can tell
when I'm getting low, and need to grab a snack. My wife,
who's been a T1 since the morning after sugar was
invented, has no clue when she starts to drop - and for
her, it's generally such a sharp drop that even with her
CGM set to alarm at the earliest point (100mg/dl), by the
time the first alarm goes she's already unconscious. |
|

(You know you've had too many 911 calls when the
dispatcher responds, "Oh, hi, [lurch]. Is it your wife again?
Did she have any falls or anything? Just the hypoglycemia?
OK, I'm sending your regular crew..." - and then the
paramedics come in and you hear one tell another "this
will be easy - just hang the IV bag, they've got a hook
over the bed, she'll only need a half-ampule of D50, we'll
be done in 10 minutes") |
|
| |
So... yeah. If we could find anything that correlates
sufficiently to give some early warning, I'd be an early
adopter. This all sounds pretty vague, though. |
