Diabetes Won't Keep This IndyCar Driver Out of the Race
From: Medical Design Technology - 04/08/2015

IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball wired his commercially-available wearable
glucose monitor directly into his car's electronics. The car was already
running diagnostics on itself - tire pressure, brake temperature, fuel
levels; so why not display his blood glucose levels as well? The upkeep of
the driver, especially in Kimball's case, is just as important as the car.
All he has to do is glance at the display on the steering wheel, and he'll
see his lap time, speed, oil pressure, water temperature, and glucose levels!

When either the sensor or his pit crew monitoring wirelessly alert him that
his levels are getting low, Kimball simply turns to the drink system attached
to his car's cockpit. He can sip water or orange juice through a 3D-printed
valve at any time, refueling himself without any trouble.

Kimball actually has a background in mechanical engineering - he was accepted
into Stanford's program before he became a professional racer.
