“…These devices are designed for portability and rapid diagnosis. Portable POS devices have many advantages over larger laboratory devices, including providing clinical care in remote locations (48) and convenient in-home testing such as the self-monitoring of blood glucose (49). Using saliva as a biofluid in conjunction with a POS device ensures better patient compliance because of the simple collection method.…”

Clinical diagnostics can be improved by faster and more accessible disease detection. Our laboratory has developed a point of service (POS) device capable of rapid, sensitive, automated and multiplexed biomarker detection using human saliva instead of other biofluids. In this article, we review the technology that led to the development of this POS device. This POS technology can advance clinical diagnostics by saving time due to faster diagnosis, saving money due to a shorter hospital stay and ultimately improving clinical care.

“…The most common method of daily glucose monitoring involves collection of a mixture of capillary blood and tissue fluids by finger prick, or “finger-sticking” [3]. This procedure has the advantage that it can be performed by the individual and provides up-to-the-minute information.…”

Objective The use of a fully implanted, first-generation prototype sensor/telemetry system is described for long-term monitoring of subcutaneous tissue glucose in a small cohort of people with diabetes. Methods Sensors are based on a membrane containing immobilized glucose oxidase and catalase coupled to oxygen electrodes and a telemetry system, integrated as an implant. The devices remained implanted for up to 180 days, with signals transmitted every 2 minutes to external receivers. Results The data include signal recordings from glucose clamps and spontaneous glucose excursions, matched respectively to reference blood glucose and finger-stick values. The sensor signals indicate dynamic tissue glucose, for which there is no independent standard, and a model describing the relationship between blood glucose and the signal is therefore included. The values of all model parameters have been estimated, including the permeability of adjacent tissues to glucose, and equated to conventional mass transfer parameters. As a group, the sensor calibration varied randomly at an average rate of −2.6%/week. Statistical correlation indicated strong association between the sensor signals and reference glucose values. Conclusions Continuous, long-term glucose monitoring in individuals with diabetes is feasible with this system. Significance All therapies for diabetes are based on glucose control and therefore require glucose monitoring. This fully implanted, long-term sensor/telemetry system may facilitate a new era of management of the disease.

“…Great progress has been made in recent years with self-monitoring of BG (SMBG), with more sophisticated, accurate, and easy-to-handle tools, and intensified schemes involving frequent measurements before and after meals, at bedtime, and during the night [1]. These strategies, however, all suffer from the limitation of giving 'spot' data.…”

With real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RTCGM), the patient has a continuous picture of glucose concentrations -dynamic information with important predictive value. It is in fact a typical 'patient-oriented' tool that permits a more aggressive therapeutic approach and makes it easier to adapt therapy immediately. Currently approved RTCGM devices consist of three main components: a glucose sensor, a transmitter, and a receiver monitor. The system is defined as minimally invasive because it requires insertion into the subcutaneous cellular tissue of a fine needle to measure the glucose in the interstitial fluid directly or via an external sensor. A correct selection of patients is one of the most important factors in determining a successful application of this innovative technology. For this purpose, there are already consensus statements in a number of countries with regard to the indications of these systems. The criteria for identification of candidates are usually divided into three main categories: pediatric/adolescent, adult patients (both in the general population of type 1 diabetes and in specific settings), and pregnant women or women in the preconception period. RTCGM opens up extremely interesting prospects that are destined to radically change the concept of clinical self-management of diabetes. Considering the technical progress towards overcoming the current limitations (essentially: not optimal accuracy, invasiveness, and costs) which currently prevent its widespread use, we can expect wide diffusion of this form of monitoring in the coming years.
