چکیده
The abdominal subcutaneous interstitium is easily accessible for monitoring glucose for Diabetes Mellitus research and management. The available glucose sensing devices demand frequent blood sampling by finger pricking for calibration. Moreover, there is controversy about the exact relationship between the levels of glucose in the subcutis and blood. In the present study ultra-slow microdialysis was applied for subcutaneous fluid sampling, allowing continuous measurement of glucose in an equilibrated fluid using a nanolitre size sensor. The present method avoids in vivo calibration. During an oral glucose tolerance test glucose levels were measured simultaneously in blood, in adipose tissue and loose connective tissue layers of the abdominal subcutis in seven healthy subjects. Fasting glucose levels (mM) were 2.52 +/- 0.77 in adipose tissue and 4.67 +/- 0.17 in blood, this difference increasing to 6.40 +/- 1.57 and 11.59 +/- 1.52 at maximal glucose concentration. Moreover, the kinetics of glucose in blood and adipose tissue were different. In contrast, connective tissue glucose levels differed insignificantly (4.71 +/- 0.21 fasting and 11.70 +/- 1.96 at maximum) from those in blood and correlated well (r2 = 0.962). Ultra-slow microdialysis combined with a nanolitre glucose sensor could be of benefit to patients in intensive diabetes therapy. Frequent blood sampling for in vivo calibration can be avoided by monitoring glucose in the abdominal subcutaneous loose connective tissue, rather than in the adipose tissue.

Comparison of a needle-type and a microdialysis continuous glucose monitor in type 1 diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE We examined the reliability of two continuous glucose sensors in type 1 diabetic patients at night and during rapid glucose excursions and verified the hypothesized nocturnal hypoglycemic drift of the needle-type sensor (CGMSgold) and delay of the microdialysis sensor (GlucoDay). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Blood was sampled overnight twice per hour in 13 patients. Rapid-acting insu...
متن کاملNo apparent local effect of insulin on microdialysis continuous glucose- monitoring measurements.
OBJECTIVE Data investigating the possible disturbing influence of insulin in the vicinity of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is lacking. We investigated the hypothesis that high local insulin concentrations would interfere with sensor readings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Two microdialysis sensors were inserted in the periumbilical region of 10 continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CS...
متن کاملAnalyte flux through chronically implanted subcutaneous polyamide membranes differs in humans and rats.
The rat is commonly used to evaluate physiological responses of subcutaneous tissue to implanted devices. In vivo longevity of various devices and the biocompatibility of biomaterials depend on how adjacent tissue interacts. How closely the rat model predicts the human response has not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to compare rat and human subcutaneous foreign body re...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of High-Intensity Interval Training and Endurance On Blood Glucose and TORC1 Protein Content in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese with Type 2 Diabetes Rats
Background: TORC1 protein is an important factor in regulating adipose tissue metabolism. Type 2 diabetes can lead to dysfunction and the development of obesity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and endurance on blood glucose and TORC1 protein content in subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese with type ...
