A Chip Placed Under Your Skin To Check Blood Sugar Levels

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Texarkana, TX

Has anyone else heard of a chip placed under your skin to monitor your blood sugar levels.. It sends the info to a smart watch or iPhone... That way ,you don't have to stick your fingers all of the time....
I've had something similar to this placed on my stomach before,but it was only for like 3 days..
