Jodhpur (Rajasthan): India is known as the country of diabetes. There are more than seven crore diabetic patients in the country. Owing to the busy routine and unhealthy eating habits, it becomes quite difficult for people with diabetes to monitor and keep their blood glucose levels in check.
To help such people ease their daily routine, two engineers from the MBM University Jodhpur, Saurabh Pandey, and Yogesh Choudhary, have come up with a device, 'Dietosure' that monitors the body's sugar level in real-time.
According to the innovators of the device, 'Dietosure' is a small patch that can be placed on the arm or the hand of the patient.
"If a person drinks tea, he can easily know how much sugar there was in the body and how much has increased after consuming the beverage," Saurabh Pandey, one of the innovators, told ETV Bharat.
Similarly, he said, with continuous monitoring of rice, potato curry, wheat chapati, and other things, the real-time sugar level is updated in the software, which proves helpful to the patient in controlling the sugar levels.
