GluMetrics: Refining glucose monitors to save thousands of lives
William Markle is in a race, but doesn’t want anyone to know how fast he’s going or how far he’s gone.
Until he’s ready to cross the finish line, that is.
The race is a competition to create a device that will continuously measure glucose in the bloodstream, especially for patients in hospitals’ intensive care units. Markle is chief executive officer of GluMetrics Inc. of Irvine, which is developing such a device. …
The bigger winner will be thousands of patients whose lives can be saved if doctors can control blood glucose more accurately, minute by minute, without relying on nurses making their rounds every 60 minutes or so to take pin-prick blood samples.
