A device for continuous in vivo monitoring of glutose concentration in peop
le with diabetes has been a clinical and research priority for many years b
ut now has an urgency which is probably unquestioned in diabetes tare. The
purpose of this article is to explain recent advances in technology that ar
e bringing glutose sensors closer to routine use and to highlight some of t
he remaining problems. Important new technologies include artificial recept
ors for glutose, tissue fluid sampling techniques, and new approaches to no
n-invasive sensing, such as fluorescence lifetime measurements.
