| Research Abstract |
A telemetry glucose monitoring system consists of a transmitter connected by a needle-type glucose sensor and a receiver. The needle-type glucose sensor is a hydrogen-peroxide electrode covered by immobilized glucose oxidase, which generates a very weak direct current depending on glucose concentration in surrounding fluid. The transmitter converts current signals generated by a needle-type glucose sensor to a very-high-frequency (VHF) audio signal. The transmitter consists of a current-voltage-converting amplifier, a voltage-frequency converter, and a lithium battery. The receiver is composed of a VHF oscillator, a frequency modulator, electric filters, a frequency-voltage converter, and an alarm circuit and batteries. By modifying these devices, the prototype of wrist-watch type glucose monitoring system was established. Continuous glucose monitorings by this device in insulin-treated diabetic patients were attempted on a long-term basis. Even though the meal, exercise, and insulin administration regimes were identical in each patient for the specified period, there existed marked day-by-day variations in glycemic response. Thus, it was concluded from these stidies that closed-loop glycemic control is essential to overcome changes in characteristics such as variations in meal ingestion and absorption and in insulin sensitivity.
