Apple has a secret team working on the holy grail for treating diabetes

 


 
 
 
Apple has hired a small team of biomedical engineers to work at a nondescript office in Palo Alto, California, miles from corporate headquarters.

They are part of a super secret initiative, initially envisioned by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, to develop sensors that can noninvasively and continuously monitor blood sugar levels to better treat diabetes, according to three people familiar with the matter.

It could well...if they succeed...but and it is a BIG but...a very large number of very brainy people have already tried and failed...so I am wondering what makes Cupertino believe they will do it when many have tried in vain? :@

Hopefully Steve Jobs passed on some good information before his passing. I believe if he were still alive we would be a lot closer for treatment (hopefully). Sorry to hear about your Dad passing from diabetes Sherry. Colleen has Type 2 diabetes (taking medicines) and I'm prediabetic (no medicines). Something else to add to our ailment list. 😠

Thank you PTD...Sorry to hear that you and Colleen has more issues to deal with. But I'm guessing a good diet is important for both of you..right? 😉
