Fabrication and analysis of glucose sensor

Millions of people worldwide suffer from Diabetes mellitus caused due to inadequate production of insulin hormones leading to varying glucose concentrations in the blood and causing a series of problems. Hence, Individuals suffering from such a disease need close monitoring and management of glucose levels in their blood. The traditional way of monitoring is by finger pricking and measuring blood glucose in an external monitoring device and then taking an appropriate dose of insulin shots or glucose-rich edibles in the latter case. It is a cyclic process every day, exposing patients to inflammation and might cause discomfort. Hence, current research is more toward self-monitoring using real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices. This project aims at designing a sensor for one such device.
