Electrochemical Glucose Sensors and Their Applications in Diabetes Management
Electrochemical glucose monitoring has contributed massively to improving the lives of diabetic people. As the prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide and as curing of the two types of diabetes remains elusive, humanity is likely to further benefit from advances in the electrochemical monitoring of glycemia.
Following the single-use strips, which now painlessly and accurately monitor glucose concentrations in 300 nL samples of blood, increasingly advanced, continuous glucose monitors are being introduced. Their already small subcutaneous sensors will be further miniaturized, and their 5–7 day operating lives will be extended. Through increasingly accurate and continuous measurement of the first and second derivatives, the diabetic user will be adequately forewarned if and when corrective action is needed to maintain a healthier narrower, closer to normal, glycemic range. The pain of blood glucose monitoring has been eliminated and the constant worry of diabetic people is now being eliminated through progress in bioelectrochemistry.
