Use of Glucose Monitoring Systems in Horses
Traditional methods of blood glucose monitoring involve obtaining samples for measurement via laboratory methodology or point of care devices and require invasive collection techniques such as capillary stick, venipuncture, or the placement of intravenous catheters. Limitations of traditional …

Precision Medicine in Diabetes Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
… is tailored to the individual. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) helps patients manage their disease through the collection of real-time measurements of interstitial glucose, providing insight into glycemic dynamics that laboratory measurements cannot capture. In this thesis, we …

Optical fibre-based minimally-invasive blood glucose monitoring system.
… effects of diabetes can be controlled by tightly monitoring blood glucose levels. Several methods to accomplish this have been proposed over the years. In this thesis, a thorough literature and patent review revealed that blood glucose monitors (BGMs) based on amperometry are one of the most …

Glucose monitoring measuring blood glucose using vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs)
… ever-increasing public health issue. Continuous glucose monitoring has been shown to help diabetes mellitus patients stabilize their glucose levels, leading to improved patient health. Hence, a glucose sensor, capable of continuous real-time monitoring, has been a topic of research for three …

Social, political and economic implications of self-blood glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes management
… the burden of diabetes is increasing. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has been recommended as part of diabetes management, irrespective of treatment, for 50 years. There is evidence that SMBG does not clinically improve glycaemic control in all patients with non-insulin treated type …

BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING AND METABOLIC CONTROL IN YOUTH WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES: RELATION TO DISEASE CARE
… may not accurately capture intricacies of blood glucose fluctuations. Youth then must rely on blood glucose levels obtained throughout the day to determine which disease care behaviors to perform to maintain optimal metabolic control. Youth may have difficulty performing these disease care …

Development and Optimization of an Integrated Faraday Modulator and Compensator Design for Continuous Polarimetric Glucose Monitoring
… in the development of noninvasive polarimetric glucose detection systems, salutary for the treatment of our rapidly increasing diabetic population. This area of research utilizes the aqueous humor as the detection medium for its strong correlation to blood glucose concentration and highlights …

Stress and coping among adolescent diabetics
… and adjustment, optimism, and frequency of blood glucose monitoring was examined in 99 adolescents (88 female, 11 male). Participants were between the ages of 12 and 18 with a mean age of 14.8 years. Mean duration of diabetes at the time of participation was 5.3 years. Coping theory using approach …

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: A Comparison of Diabetes Educator Instruction Versus Self-instruction
Over the past decade, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has become an increasingly important and widely accepted part of diabetes management (American Diabetes Association, 1985; Consensus Statement on SMGB, 1987; Wing, Epstein, Nowalk, Scott & Koeske, 1985; Wysocki, 1988). It is an important …
