VeriChip Corporation And RECEPTORS LLC Successfully Complete Phase I Development Of In Vivo Glucose Sensing RFID Microchip
November 20, 2008
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. & CHASKA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VeriChip Corporation (”VeriChip”) (NASDAQ:CHIP), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, and its development partner RECEPTORS LLC, a technology company whose AFFINITY by DESIGN™ chemistry platform can be applied to the development of selective binding products, announced today that a significant milestone has been achieved toward the development of an in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip. Upon successful completion of the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID development program, this self-contained, implantable bio-sensing device will, for the first time, have the ability to measure glucose levels in the human body through an external scanner, thereby eliminating the need for diabetics to their fingers multiple times per day.
The key to the development of the implantable glucose sensor is the self-contained, in vivo capable glucose-sensing system. RECEPTORS’ sensing system design is discussed by RECEPTORS’ President and Chief Science Officer, Dr. Carlson, in the “Self-Contained Implantable RFID Glucose-Sensing Microchip” white paper that is available on RECEPTORS’ and VeriChip’s websites. The design of the glucose-sensing system incorporates two critical components. RECEPTORS recently completed Phase I proof-of-concept program successfully prepared prototype examples for both the glucose-selective binding environment and the glucose-competitive signaling component. These critical components were used to demonstrate the bench top format application of the glucose-sensing system to the detection of glucose levels. This demonstration is the proof-of-concept foundation of the glucose-sensing system.
Scott R. Silverman, Chairman of VeriChip, said, “We are not only focused on current opportunities for patient identification within our VeriMed Health Link business, but also on the future applications of RFID in healthcare. The glucose sensor is a promising example, combining a unique application of the technology and an extremely valuable market. While there is much more to do, development of the binding environment was a big step towards reaching that future.
”
In December 2007, VeriChip and RECEPTORS unveiled plans to build a prototype self-contained implantable bio-sensing device included in an RFID microchip. Following VeriChip’s purchase of all intellectual property related to the human implantable RFID glucose-sensing microchip from Digital Angel Corporation in November 2008, VeriChip is now RECEPTORS’ exclusive partner.
In the next phase of this program, the optimization of the sensing system components, development of the sensing to electronics signal transduction system and incorporation of the devices biocompatible shield will be developed.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the world and afflicts the young and the old alike. Diabetes means that the body does not produce or use insulin properly. Genetic factors, obesity, stress and a sedentary lifestyle are some of the causes of this disease. While Yoga cannot cure diabetes, it can complement the lifestyle changes necessary to keep diabetic symptoms in check.

When your cells become insulin resistant, they lose their sensitivity to insulin. As a result, large quantities of glucose cannot enter the cells, remaining instead, in the blood stream where it passes to the liver and is converted to fat. This process often leads to weight gain.

I have a friend who is a really healthy type 1 diabetic and he is 30 years old, and his mom has diabetes but has lived awhile. So is it likely for him to die anytime soon?
I have a friend who is a really healthy type 1 diabetic and he is 30 years old. His mom has diabetes and is still alive. Is it likely for him to die anytime soon?
According to US data, the reduction in life expectancy seen in people with Type 1 diabetes is dependent on the age at diagnosis. At a minimum, life expectancy is shortened by 15 years. One study using life insurance records showed a reduction in life expectancy of 27 years in those diagnosed before age 15. A study of patients at the Joslin Clinic, a US clinic specializing in diabetes, found only a 16 to 17 year reduction in life expectancy for those diagnosed at ages 10 or 15. However, people who are treated at the Joslin Clinic would tend to be from wealthier families and would likely receive better medical care.

My grandpa is diabetic, but he used to love those turtle chocolates with caramel and nuts. I would love to make him some for Christmas but I can’t seem to find a recipe online?
Use stevia as the sugar substitute because it is not genetically engineered garbage like all the other ones are and is a natural plant used as medicine in the Amazon. It won’t hurt the body.
Then use Carob as the chocolate substitute.
good luck to you

I am worried about having diabetes. For months I have been having pain in some of my fingertips and toes. The pain is not constant but very frequent. I have also been having pain in my tailbone with IBS symptoms. Does anyone know if diabetic nueropathy can be like this and if nueropathy can be the first symptom of diabetes?
Nerve entrapment is by far the most common cause of isolated neuropathies, but its not very common to similar nerve entrapments in all four limbs. Diabetes is one possibility, but the symptoms also occur with kidney disorders, vitamin deficiencies, certain endocrine disorders, vascular problems, and a variety of neurological conditions. The docs would need to start with a very complete physical exam, urinalysis, and panel of blood tests to even begin to guess what’s going on.

This shocking story may save your life....
I Turned My Husband Into A Human Guinea Pig…
And Banished His Diabetes For Good!
After champagne and wedding cake, my diabetic husband crashed
to the floor. As the ambulance pulled away, I made up my mind to
wage war on diabetes.
Only after years of research am I now making my findings
available. And you won’t believe what I’ve uncovered…
“Somebody Call An Ambulance!”
Even though diabetes ran in my family, I’d never given it much thought. Both my grandmother and my cousin had diabetes… but the disease had never hit home for me.
But that all changed on my wedding night. I knew my husband had diabetes, but I didn’t realize how serious the disease could be.
Until I Watched His Eyes Roll Up Into The Back Of His Head
On the most important night of my life, my husband crashed to the floor. Turns out, he had a bit too much cake and champagne and that caused his glucose levels to spike.
I learned a LOT about diabetes that night… but diabetes was about to learn a lot about ME in the coming years.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned…
