CAN CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING BE USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES

During the past 10 years intense effort has been directed toward the development of biosensors. No goal has been more important than the realization of continuous blood glucose monitoring as an aid to diabetes therapy. Attainment of this goal, however, is made elusive by the need to consider the specific analytical requirements of this special application. In this REPORT our aim is to describe the nature of the analytical problem from chemical and clinical perspectives and to explore possible solutions. © 1992, American Chemical Society.
