glucose sensor

A glucose sensor is a device that monitors the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood, typically used by people with diabetes. It works by measuring glucose in the interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells) through a tiny, minimally invasive probe or sensor. The sensor detects glucose levels electronically and sends this data to a display or a smartphone, helping individuals manage their blood sugar more effectively. This continuous monitoring allows for better control of diabetes, reducing risks of complications by providing real-time insights into blood sugar fluctuations throughout the day.
