A Review on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): Perspectives on Glucose Biosensors

Abstract

This review highlights the need for continuous monitoring devices (CGM) in comparison with the self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), with a little focus on various marketed CGM devices. It provides significant attention to the latest generations of glucose biosensors and enzymatic glucose bio sensing. The advantages and limitations of various physiological samples for continuous glucose monitoring are discussed. Also, discussed are the use of semipermeable membranes to improve the biosensor’s sensitivity and selectivity while retaining its stability.
