Electrochemical Glucose Sensors and Their Applications in Diabetes Management

The fundamentals of the electrochemistry of glucose are discussed, and a perspective of the evolution of the electrochemical glucose assays and monitors helping diabetic people is presented. Because of the large number of diabetic people, no assay is performed more frequently than that of glucose. M...

Description
Summary:The fundamentals of the electrochemistry of glucose are discussed, and a perspective of the evolution of the electrochemical glucose assays and monitors helping diabetic people is presented. Because of the large number of diabetic people, no assay is performed more frequently than that of glucose. Most of these assays are electrochemical.
