Abstract
Approximately 7% of the elderly over 45 are diagnosed in several diabetes forms and it is believed that 3% of the population is undiagnosed. As the number of diabetes diagnoses has been increasing, so too has the technology for managing the disease. The traditional way of measuring glucose levels is to apply a blood drop to a chemically treated, disposable ”test-strip” and insert it into an electronic device. In this study, we overview the latest technology for continuous glucose measurement, as they trend from minimally invasive to non-invasive glucose measurement methods.
