This article from CNN talks about the new development from Google that would help diabetics. Surprisingly this help would come in the form of contact lenses. How these lenses work are that they have tiny glucose sensors in them that measure the the glucose levels every second. This would be a great alternative to having the daily routine of using blood test strips. The person would not have to prick their fingers every time they wanted to test their blood levels. The lenses are still currently in development. These lenses are coming from the same division of Google known as Google X Labs. This division also is working on the famous driverless cars and balloons that transmit Wifi. Overall this article was interesting because you would not think that the solution to avoiding test strips for diabetes would be in your eyes. The purpose is to inform about a new development by Google which would help diabetics. The intended audience is those interested in medical technology and Google itself. One interesting aspect of the article is that the author appears to almost glorify Google.
