That apparently not only delivers results faster, but reduces the risk of any potential long-term safety hazards from repeated laser exposure, which would also make it better suited as a tool for early screening of diabetes.

I would bet it would be CGMs, but not in the way we know them today... Since current sensors have "lag" time (15-30 minutes) and they are very expensive, this must evolve too... I am still vaiting for implantable sensors, that will last for some time. I hope Verichip and DigitalAngel are on track with their project... if yes we could have some prototype of that in 2-3 years. Who comes out with this kind of technology first, will be the winner... It would be great step towards better diabetes control and to making closed circle tehnology, that pump companies are aiming for.

Are we talking about type 2 or type 1? I'd be very surprised if a few months or weeks of high BGs prior to type 1 dx could achieve retinopathy. As for the comment above about the Humapen Memoir, I have had plenty of trouble with that device as well as the Humapen Luxura. I'm on my third Luxura in less than a year, the plunger broke on the other two. As for the Memoir, it was so cumbersome I downgraded to the memory-less Luxura. I'm all for diabetes technology, but I don't intend to try these things until I actually have the time to endlessly calibrate, fiddle with, and troubleshoot them.
