Development and application of continuous and noninvasive glucose monitoring technology

Blood glucose monitoring is an important part and means in the process of diabetes treatment and management. There is a high correlation between glucose concentration in interstitial fluid and glucose concentration in blood. Real-time monitoring of glucose concentration in interstitial fluid has important clinical significance. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an emerging glucose monitoring technology, which indirectly reflects the blood glucose level of the body through the glucose level in the interstitial fluid, providing continuous and comprehensive information and rules of blood glucose variation over a period of time. There are three main categories of CGM: minimally invasive implantation, non-invasive microtransparency and non-invasive technology. Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technology is the future development direction, but accuracy and delay of blood glucose will be the biggest challenge to be overcome in clinical application.
