I for one would like to see one that doesn’t have to make a new incision every time; rather, i think it would be cool to have a subdermal implant that’s permanently in place but can draw power through wireless near field radio frequency induction from a magnetically mounted external module that can be removed non-invasively at any time, so that the internal components are inert without power.
I think that only one small incision is required when you put it on and it is quite painless, then the blood glucose is measured at set intervals over a two week period.
