The aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare the results of B-glucose estimations performed simultaneously on glucometer Advance (with Micro-draw strips) and Optium (G3 strips) by lay healthy volunteers under non-standardized conditions of everyday life, to assess the difficulties dealing with lay-handling of these systems and to demonstrate the possibilities of the software Glucobalance (Hypoguard) and PC-Link (Medisense/Abbott) for the analysis of selfmonitoring. In the course of 5 days, a total of 721 pairs of measurements were carried out on 10 pairs of glucometer Advance and Optium by 10 healthy volunteers aged 16-40 years. The data transfer of all values into computer from glucometer Advance using the Glucobalance software and from glucometer Optium using the PC-Link was carried out to determine the results. The correlation of B-glucose measured on the glucometer Advance and Optium was strong (r = 0.73). Glucometer Advance brings values about 0.21 +/- 0.06 mmol/l lower than glucometer Optium. The average difference found within each pairs of glucometers Advance - Optium varied. Nevertheless, these differences are acceptable for routine selfmonitoring. The handling of glucometer Advance is not difficult for lay persons. The Glucobalance software simplifies the result evaluation by each tested person. Even though there are some advantages in comparison with the PC-Link, it should be further developed.

Among wearable sensing devices, electrochemical sensors are overwhelming in biochemical detection due to their simple design but high sensitivity. Most electrochemical sensors are disposable, which significantly impairs the service life. Here we present a reusable gallium (Ga)-based multilayer electrochemical glucose biosensor to extend noninvasive monitoring of glucose in the interstitial fluid.

Wearable diabetic healthcare devices have attracted great attention for real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using biofluids such as tears, sweat, saliva, and interstitial fluid via noninvasive ways. In response to the escalating global demand for CGM, these devices enable proactive management and intervention of diabetic patients with incorporated drug delivery systems (DDSs). In this context, multifunctional nanomaterials can trigger the development of innovative sensing and management platforms to facilitate real-time selective glucose monitoring with remarkable sensitivity, on-demand drug delivery, and wireless power and data transmission.

Background: Serious games, which are gaming applications used for purposes beyond entertainment to educate users on, and address, specific issues, may present a timely approach to promote healthy diabetes management behaviors among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The lasting benefits associated with these serious games encompass improved patient education; enhanced glycemic control; the reinforcement of bonds within the community of people with diabetes; the facilitation of meaningful dialogues with caregivers, especially within the familial setting; and a significant reduction in the economic burdens associated with subsequent complications.
Objective: This paper primarily aims to provide a detailed overview of the iterative design process and the associated evaluation methods used in the development of the educational game.

Significance: Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for individuals with diabetes. Noninvasive methods for measuring serum glucose levels have been explored to aid in blood glucose control for diabetes management.
Aim: We introduced a noncontact optical glucometer (NCGM) for measuring glucose levels in the aqueous humor of the human eye.
Advanced healthcare requires novel technologies capable of real-time sensing to monitor acute and long-term health. The challenge relies on converting a real-time quantitative biological and chemical signal into a desired measurable output. Given the success in detecting glucose and the commercialization of glucometers, electrochemical biosensors continue to be a mainstay of academic and industrial research activities.
