Close pan to micro needle pad\u003cbr/\u003eScientists are aiming to revolutionise care for diabetics with a high tech monitor which automatically alerts doctors and relatives if a patient has dangerously high blood sugar.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are 366 million type 1 and 2 diabetics worldwide - the United Nations says that $11 billion (USD) is needed to prevent this and other non communicable diseases especially in the developing world.  \u003cbr/\u003eThis apparently insignificant little pad could change the way diabetics live.\u003cbr/\u003eThey''re almost invisible, but on the surface are scores of needles.\u003cbr/\u003eEach 1 millimetre long micro-needle contains its own sophisticated sensor, or nano wire which is completely invisible to the naked eye.\u003cbr/\u003eTogether they''re in a constant cycle of collecting and analysing the blood of the patient it''s attached to.\u003cbr/\u003eYou won''t be able to feel it either according to its inventors, they say it''s designed to stay permanently and painlessly in contact with a patient''s arm.\u003cbr/\u003eThe technology being developed at Swansea University is in its infancy.\u003cbr/\u003eThe team is now in the middle of developing a transmitter which will be able to send an SMS message to a hospital, or to relatives as soon as a patient is at risk of a hypoglycaemic attack.\u003cbr/\u003eThe idea is to ensure there is no delay in providing emergency treatment, even is the diabetic is alone and unconscious.\u003cbr/\u003eDr Vincent Teng is Swansea University''s nanotechnology expert.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says the needles \"have a diameter of about 15 microns. That offers a painless experience to a patient when using it. These needles will be attached to the arm of the patient and blood sample drawn using these micro-needles. The sensors which is developed using nano-wires technology will be integrated into the micro-needles, and that offers painless detections of the blood glucose, and continuous monitoring of blood glucose in the patient\".\u003cbr/\u003eAn undetected hypoglycaemic attack can prove fatal as student Michael Evans is fully aware.\u003cbr/\u003eEvans was just a couple of years old when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.\u003cbr/\u003eHis family has a history of diabetes so he understood quickly the importance of regular blood tests.\u003cbr/\u003eEvans has to take insulin injections which means he has to test his blood glucose levels up to 10 times every day. \u003cbr/\u003eEvans believes all diabetics would welcome developments which can improve their independence.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says: \"With me it would mean not having to carry my blood sugar testing machine around. It''d constantly be there, it would be telling me. It could be a life saver and it would just make things a lot easier. It would take away part of being diabetic. If it''s constantly being checked you''re aware that it goes wrong straight away and then you can stop the problems before they happen.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThese are a part of the University''s Health Informatics Research laboratories directed by Professor David Ford.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says the device being developed here is aimed at ensuring diabetics are not put at risk of fainting, or going into shock, when they''re asleep, or alone.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Ford the team is at the stage where it is checking that everything is working as it should \"in terms of operating alerts, making sure that those alerts go to the right people at the right time, but also can feed information systems to support the doctors that are caring for the patients so that they understand how people illness is progressing over time and can take appropriate action both in medication and lifestyle choices\".\u003cbr/\u003eFord is convinced the system will have increasing relevance to patient care as more and more patient records are stored electronically.\u003cbr/\u003eThe WHO predicts the number of diabetes cases will have doubled by 2030.\u003cbr/\u003eFord says a system of continual monitoring is an exciting development. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says: \"If a patient was to wear this 24 hours a day it would be an enormous benefit in terms of understanding the way that their blood glucose responds to what they eat and what they do during the day, and potentially could have a role in perhaps automating the introduction of insulin into the bloodstream which is the mechanism that is used naturally to moderate blood glucose levels.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThis technology for diabetics is still a few years away from being tested.   \u003cbr/\u003eBut the team hopes that the same system can be widened pioneering care for people with heart disease and strokes. \u003cbr/\u003eTeng says:  \"With the use of the right bio markers on the nano wires we will be able to use this technology to detect other chronic diseases. Say, for example, heart disease, asthma, and also stroke that is very common. In fact the number of people who suffer from this chronic disease has increased rapidly in recent time.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThis type of research is going on in laboratories around the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThe WHO says non-communicable diseases, or NCDs, are the leading cause of death in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThat''s 63 per cent of all deaths each
