A future without needles: non-invasive glucose measurements in patients with diabetes: Diabetes technology

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Optical measurements through the skin are challenging because they usually represent averages across the various layers of skin that are illuminated. A study in Nature Metabolism uses a depth-selective variant of Raman spectroscopy to probe glucose levels specifically in the skin vasculature, and thereby achieves improved glucose sensing in humans.
