Continuous Glucose Sensing: Future Technology Developments
Brauker J et al. - Ambulatory sensors are currently approved and used only to treat insulin-using diabetes patients. In the future, the technology may have benefit for diagnostic use and behavior modification in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and prediabetes, as well as metabolic monitoring in elite athletes, soldiers, pilots, and the like. Hospitals currently use single-point information for tracking glucose in patients. Blood-based continuous sensing may provide the data needed to prevent in-hospital hypoglycemia and may lead to closed loop technology in the hospital. [more...]
