Engineers at the National University of Singapore and Singapore’s Institute of Microeletronics have developed a non-invasive technique to monitor glucose levels. Glucose is vital for the body because cells derive their energy from glucose. But an overdose of glucose could be detrimental as high levels of glucose result in undesirable changes to the inherent structure of a cell.
