Glucose monitoring using implanted fluorescent microspheres.

Glucose monitoring using implanted fluorescent microspheres.

The authors are working toward a minimally invasive means for diabetics to better monitor glucose levels. A fiber-optic probe was fabricated for delivery and collection of light to an implanted sensor. The probe and associated optical system has high sensitivity and allows for flexible, remote measu...
