Diabetes: Glucose Monitoring Topics in Bioengineering 11/12/2012
Diabetes background: Trivia • What are the three main types? • Type I (children, no insulin) • Type II (adults, insulin resistance) • Gestational (resolves after pregnancy • What cells make insulin? • Beta cells • Where are they found? • Pancreas, Islets of Langerhans • How many people in the US? • 20 million • How many people worldwide? • 346 million (type II only!) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002194/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus
Diabetes – huge healthcare problem! • Type I is autoimmune, causes unknown (requires insulin) • Life-long, no cure • Type II linked with obesity (sometimes managed/ reversed with drugs, lifestyle changes) • Gestational: if not carefully managed, serious risks for mother and baby • Complications: • Cardiovascular diseases (risk doubled) • Diabetic retinopathy (impaired vision, blindness) • Diabetic nephropathy (chronic kidney disease, dialysis) • Diabetic neuropathy (numbness, tingling foot ulcers amputation) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002194/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus
How is it managed? • Insulin first available in 1921 • Blood glucose must be tightly monitored and controlled glucose biosensors • Types: • Finger prick (still most common?) • Continuous (insert sensor SubQ) • Microdialysis (still requires SubQ implant) • Reverse iontophoresis (noninvasive) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002194/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus TMH Lee (2008) Sensors. 8:5535-5559.

What does it look like? Tamada’s version was probably something like this… Modern version?
