UNC, NC State Researchers Create New Smart Insulin Patch That Could Be a ‘Game Changer’

A new ‘smart’ insulin patch could do away with these painful injections and revolutionize the way diabetics keep their blood sugar levels in check. The patch, created by researchers from the University of North Carolina and NC State, is a thin square covered with more than 100 tiny needles. (IFL Science)
