Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have developed a wireless implant placed under the skin. It uses electrical stimulation to convert excess glucose into gluconate, which the kidneys then remove. A wearable device controlled via a smartphone activates the implant when blood sugar rises. In trials on diabetic, obese mice, the implant returned blood sugar levels to normal within 60 to 90 minutes and helped reduce body weight by up to 10% over six weeks. But before it can be used in humans, researchers will need to assess the risks of gluconate buildup, disruption of the body’s balance, and depletion of salts. The team plans to test the implant in larger animals before considering clinical trials.
