Scientists develop wearable biosensors to monitor diabetes changes in real time

The working principle of this biosensor is to detect the three compounds that affect diabetes through sweat. Researchers said: "Type 2 diabetes affects many people. If the most appropriate management and regulation can be achieved, then this global disease will be controlled."

"If a person is subjected to stress for a long time, then the cortisol level will rise and it will be resistant to the body's insulin production. The blood glucose level is far from the normal range, and it will gradually develop into prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, etc. If this occurs In the situation, people's bodies will show an inflammatory state. This inflammation marker, IL-6, will show that your organs are also beginning to be affected."

“Based on this principle, we wondered if we could develop a product that would predict the arrival of diabetes by monitoring changes in cortisol, glucose, and interleukin-6, and at the same time help diabetics manage their own blood glucose levels. We have finally found a precise molecular combination that can measure the continuous changes of three compounds through a small amount of sweat secreted by the human body."

In addition, the researcher also connects this biosensor with the mobile application so that he can keep abreast of his own health changes.
