Nanomedicine Current Trends in Diabetes Management

Abstract

Improved nanotechnique for in vivo glucose monitoring is a 'smart tattoo' composed of glucose-responsive, fluorescence-based nanosensors implanted into the skin but interrogated from outside the body, thus gives non-invasive measurements. In this method sensors that use fluorescence for detecting analyte changes have some advantages compared to the more usual implanted electrochemical electrodes, as they should not be susceptible to electroactive tissue
