I’m more interested in seeing my insulin levels than blood sugar. But I guess that’s not happening anytime soon.

- v8xi 4y agoInsulin being a protein (which all look ~similar spectroscopically), it is not possible to measure in a no-prick format as you need physical access to it for separation/measurement (e.g. via antibody-like molecule or activity assay)
- beardface 4y agoInsulin levels are massively overlooked. You can have normal blood glucose but excessive insulin levels due to insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes. As another poster mentioned, it won't happen either invasively or non-invasively any time soon. Insulin levels aren't even part of a standard blood test in most places due to the cost.
