Summary

This study is testing a new device that uses light (Raman spectroscopy) to measure blood sugar without needing a finger prick. Researchers will compare the device's readings to traditional blood tests in 49 people with diabetes. The goal is to see if this painless method is accurate and acceptable to patients.
