Noninvasive glucose monitoring devices are at present commercially unavailable. Therefore, diabetic patients must collect blood samples or use sensors embedded under the skin to measure their blood sugar levels. However, as per recent research, less intrusive glucose monitoring may soon become the new norm. A noninvasive, low-cost sensor has been developed by a team of experts, which detects glucose levels from sweat.
This skin-friendly device efficiently traces even low concentrations of glucose with much less intrusion than the commercially available detectors. Figure 1: Noninvasive, wearable glucose sensor prototype developed by the researchers. About the device: The device is made up of laser-induced graphene (LIG) , a material with atom-thick carbon layers in different shapes (Figure 1). LIG is an excellent sensing system with very high electrical…
