MIT researchers are touting a platform aimed at helping patients maintain healthy glucose levels by streamlining the diabetes management process.

The researchers say the steps of estimating the carbohydrate content of a meal, drawing blood to measure blood glucose levels, then calculating the proper insulin dose before injecting the insulin — which typically must be repeated for every meal — make it difficult to maintain a treatment regimen. Those researchers say they’ve developed a new approach that makes the process easier and more efficient while helping diabetes patients maintain their healthy glucose levels.
