Continuous Measurement of Blood Glucose

A new method for the continuous monitoring of blood glucose by measurement of dissolved oxygen.

Glucose concentration may be determined enzymatically by a glucose-oxidase procedure in which the amount of oxygen depletion from a solution saturated with oxygen is observed. The difference between the initial and final oxygen levels as detected by a polarographic oxygen analyzer is a measure of glucose concentration. Blood is sampled continuously by means of a double-lumen catheter inserted i...

Measurement of Glucose in Blood Serum

Glucose is the most important carbohydrate fuel in the body. In the fed state, the majority of circulating glucose comes from the diet and in the fasting state, gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis maintain glucose concentrations. The blood glucose levels are perfectly maintained under the influence of hormones like insulin and glucagon. However, the hormonal imbalance sometimes may result in abn...

Principles and problems of blood glucose measurement

Glucose oxidase method for continuous automated blood glucose determination.

A glucoseoxidase-peroxidasemethod for continuous automated monitoring of blood glucosehas been developed.The responseis linear over the range 0-800 mg/100 ml. Sensitivity can be maintained for 24 hr or longer and can be restored by rinsing the analytic system with sulfuric acid to permit studies of longer than 48 hr in duration. A precisionof ± 1% can be maintained between rinsesfor samplescont...

Grid-Enabled Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Measurement

Earth and life sciences are at the forefront to successfully include computational simulations and modeling. Medical applications are often mentioned as the killer applications for the Grid. The complex methodology and models of Traditional Chinese Medicine offer different approaches to diagnose and treat a persons health condition than typical Western medicine. A possibility to make this often...
