Whether it is to share a hilarious meme that reminded you of them or a video call to catch up, technology has made it easier to stay connected.

Health care innovations today like continuous glucose monitoring systems could give your elder sister / brother competition in the dependability stakes. Discreet sensors provide glucose level trends through the day with real-time monitoring, empowering you to handle your health better

Not unlike protective and hassle-free familial relationships, sensor-based monitoring systems function without causing pain and are extremely convenient. A quick scan of the sensor with a reader provides a real-time glucose reading on demand, without the need of painful, routine finger-pricks.
