Diabetic Tattoos

Something I have been interested in for about 7-8 years is the art of tattooing. Unfortunately, it is frowned upon in the teaching profession, so I have to keep that interest somewhat quiet. Another interest is diabetes, simply because I have it. There has actually been some medical tests done using a special type of ink to create tattoos. It is meant to measure blood sugar levels. The colors in the tattoo will change as one's blood sugar changes. I find this absolutely awesome. While it is not a perfect method, it is still another way diabetics, especially those who love tattoos, to check their blood sugar. It is still very much in the beta process, but if it becomes perfected, I might have to get a diabetic tattoo.
