Eliminate diabetes burnout by using a noninvasive blood sugar meter with smart insulin patches.

Extreme intense management makes every diabetes patient suffer from the disease both physically and emotionally. They have to do blood sugar test up to seven times and inject insulin between four to ten times everyday. It takes up to 300 minutes to accomplish all the recommended self-care procedures. The messiness and intenseness make diabetics prone to “diabetes burnout”, which is a situation that the patient pays minimal attention to his treatment or even just ignore it. It is life-threatening. It could cause serious medical complications, comas or even death.

Nodol introduces a brand new way of managing blood sugar levels that is highly possible to be in the market in near future. Relying on the latest diabetes technologies, Nodol is basically a noninvasive blood sugar meter with smart insulin patches.
