Biomedical engineers have developed a new kind of glucose sensor, based on carbon nanotubes, that could free people with diabetes from the daily pinprick tests now required for monitoring blood sugar ...

Every diabetic knows that one of the major burdens of the disease is managing supplies. From insulin to alcohol wipes, diabetes is a resource-intensive disease, and running out of anything has the ...

Accurate blood sugar monitoring is crucial for diabetes management. Three common procedural errors can lead to deceptive ...

Constantly tracking a person's glucose levels through their tears or sweat could be one step closer to providing people with diabetes an improved monitoring tool. Researchers report the development of ...

Blood glucose monitoring can help identify shifts in the variation of glucose (sugar) levels caused by diet, physical activity, medicines, and pathological processes, such as diabetes mellitus.

The few sensors that detect and measure molecules in the body depend on the specific chemistry of the target analyte. For example, glucose sensors quantify levels of the sugar thanks to glucose ...
