or decades, medical technology firms have Apple, Google, Samsung vie to searched for ways to let diabetics check blood sugar easily, with scant success. Now, Fthe world’s largest mobile technology firms are getting in on the act. bring health apps to wearables Apple Inc, Samsung Electronics Co and Google Inc, searching for applications that could turn nascent wearable technology like smartwatches and bracelets from curiosities into must-have items, have all set their sites on monitoring blood sugar, several people familiar with the plans say. These firms are variously hiring medical scientists and engineers, asking US regulators about oversight and developing glucose-measuring features in future wearable devices, the sources said. The first round of technology may be limited, but eventually the companies could compete in a global blood-sugar tracking market worth over $12bn by 2017, according to research firm GlobalData. Diabetes afflicts 29 million Americans and costs the economy some $245bn in 2012, a 41 percent rise in five years. Many diabetics prick their fingers as much as 10 times daily in order to check levels of a type of sugar called glucose. Non-invasive technology could take many forms. Electricity or ultrasound could pull glucose through the skin for measurement, for instance, or a light could be shined through the skin so that a spectro- now considers Google to be the medical device firm’s “It has scooped up many of the most talented scope could measure for indications of glucose. next great rival, thanks to its funding for research people with glucose-sensing expertise,” said George “All the biggies want glucose on their phone,” said and development, or R&D.

And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
