But health professionals have long struggled to find a reliable and painless way to gather blood sugar measurements. Just last year, Google announced that it was developing contact lenses that measure glucose levels in its user's tears. But now, nanoengineers may have found an even easier way for diabetes patients to monitor their vital levels: temporary tattoos.
Amay Bandodkar, a researcher at the University of California, San Diego, has created a flexible sensor that uses a mild electrical current to measure glucose levels in a person's body. Measuring blood sugar levels multiple times a day is vital for diabetes patients because it shows how well their body is managing their disease as well as the dose of insulin they require, if they need any at all.
In its latest update, the social network is again going after News Feed spam, but this time is focusing on reducing the hoaxes that appear in users' feeds. Facebook defines hoaxes as scams or "deliberately false or misleading stories."

So it is entirely in character that in an interview for another movie — Lucasfilm's animated fantasy spectacular Strange Magic, on which Lucas has worked for many years — he would casually drop a Star Wars bombshell.
Remember those story treatments for Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII and IX, which Lucas sold along with his company to Disney for $4.06 billion in October 2012? Turns out they have little, if anything, to do with what we'll see on screen starting in December.
"The ones that I sold to Disney, they came to the decision that they didn't really want to do those," Lucas told CinemaBlend. "They made up their own. So it's not the ones that I originally wrote."
