Abstract |
The advent of home blood glucose monitoring revolutionized diabetes management and the recent introduction of both wearable devices and closed loop continuous systems have impacted enormously on the lives of people with this, the fastest growing disease in the World. We describe the first fully injectable soft electrochemical glucose sensor for in situ monitoring. Collagen, the main component of native extracellular matrix (ECM) in humans and animals, was used to fabricate an in situ gellable self-supporting electroconductive hydrogel that can be injected onto an electrode surface or into porcine meat to detect glucose amperometrically. |
