New implant uses electrical signal to remove glucose from the blood.....I wonder if anyone thought of just not eating glucose in the first place?
"Diabetes and obesity are becoming increasingly common around the world, and they frequently coexist and reinforce each other. A variety of pharmacological and biological interventions are already available, but each has its advantages and disadvantages and many patients are still in need of better tolerated, more effective, and/or more affordable treatment options. An implantable device developed by Maity et al. helps to fill this gap by providing a controllable way to adjust blood glucose concentration without medications or insulin (see the Perspective by Bentley and Payne). The wirelessly powered device can be linked to a clinically available continuous glucose monitor to catalyze the conversion of glucose to gluconate, which is then renally excreted. This normalized blood glucose and simultaneously removed some of the excess caloric load when tested in mice. —Yevgeniya Nusinovich"
