Description
Shin and co-authors reported in 2024 a coating that helps glucose sensors worn under the skin last longer. Such sensors remove the need for finger pricks, but noise, tissue fluid, and acid shifts during swelling can spoil their readings. The team aimed to tune the small space around the sensor.
Using a plasma grafting step, they added a brush-like coating that can buffer acid shifts. The coated sensor gave good glucose responses across a tested acid range and lasted longer than an uncoated one. In rats, it tracked blood sugar more closely and with less noise. The work may cut the need for routine finger-stick checks.
