Glucose measurements are extremely important to diabetics, and yet they pose a tremendous analytical challenge due to the complexity posed by the biological environment. Although in vivo glucose sensing has been fraught with problemsover many years, new discoveries in biology and bioengineering make the possibility of a glucose sensor more realistic. The complexities that must be overcome include the wound healing response and the large volume of different components comprising the extracellular matrix. In Vivo Glucose Sensing covers all of these issues. The book begins by discussing implantable sensors and describing the problem of glucose sensing. It then moves on to strategies for overcoming the barriers to accurate glucose sensing, implantable sensors that are currently on the market, next generation implantable sensing methods, non-invasive glucose measurement, and applications beyond diabetes.
