A lightweight pair of eyeglasses that can monitor a patient's pupils might help physicians detect diabetic autonomic neuropathy sooner - a condition that is common among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Patients who have the Gastric band fitted are more able to achieve good weight loss results because the practitioner is able to monitor and adjust how much food the Patient consumes. This is good for the patient as it encourages them to maintain the diets recommended by the Practitioners, and the Practitioners like it because it allows them to monitor the patients progress over time.
