U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview aired on Sunday that he has a group of "very wealthy people" ready to buy TikTok, whose identities he can reveal in about two weeks. Trump added that the deal will probably need Beijing's approval to move forward, but said "I think President Xi will probably do it

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

news.ycombinator.com Adam Langley 2026-02-23 02:09:30

Continuous glucose monitoring has been a thing for a while. It's a probe that sits just inside your body and measures blood glucose levels frequently. Obviously this is most useful for type 1 diabetics, who need to regulate their blood glucose manually. (At this point, I would be amiss not to give a nod to the book Systems Medicine, which I think most readers would find fascinating. I can't judge whether it's correct or not, but it is a delightful exploration of a bunch of maladies from the per
