In this study, a non-enzymatic glucose sensor composed of two-dimensional (2D) borophene-decorated polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (NCs) was developed. The PPy-borophene NCs were prepared using low-cost sonication method. sensing performance the investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique against various biomolecules such as glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, and urea. According to ele...

One adverse effect of methylprednisolone (MP) pulse therapy is an acute dose-dependent increase in the blood glucose level. Five patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy but normal glucose tolerance received MP pulse therapy (3 cycles, 3 days/week) and were assessed by continuous glucose monitoring. Steroid therapy increased the mean sensor glucose level, and all patients developed steroid-induced ...

Monitoring of blood glucose and administration of insulin are pivotal in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children. Adverse effects such as skin problems caused by glucose sensor sets or insulin pumps are rarely reported (1–4). We present a child with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetesmellituswho developed allergic contact dermatitis caused by contact allergy to a cyanoacrylate used in...

BACKGROUND It is known that tight control of glucose in the Intensive Care Unit reduces morbidity and mortality not only in diabetic patients but also in those non-diabetics who become transiently hyperglycemic. Taking advantage of a recently marketed subcutaneous glucose sensor we designed an Automatic Insulin Infusion System (AIIS) for inpatient treatment, and tested its stability under simul...

Welsh, M.D., Ph.D., Medtronic, Inc., 18000 Devonshire St., Northridge, CA 91325; email address [email protected] Performance characteristics of devices that measure interstitial fluid glucose concentrations continue to improve. The overall accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems depends on the sensor, the reference blood glucose concentrat...

Diabetes is one of the most severe health diseases in world. More than 150 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes caused by an abnormal glucose concentration their blood and tissues. The analysis levels body significant, primarily due to mellitus. Therefore, accurately detecting crucial for diagnosing, treating, managing diabetes. Diabetic patients can self-manage condition monitoring le...

Development of improved glucose detection has vast significance in both clinical and point of care settings. Herein, we present a novel, label-free, enzyme-free, colorimetric method of glucose detection that relies on the reduction of a gold salt precursor facilitated by physiological concentrations of glucose (1.25-50 mM). The concentration of glucose present during the reduction process resul...

This paper presents a chemical reaction-free sensor, based on the osmosis principle, fabricated to measure the change in glucose concentration levels. The sensor consists of a square cavity filled with a known concentration of glucose solution and sealed with a semi-permeable membrane. The volume inside the cavity changes in proportion to the glucose concentration outside the device and introdu...
