Instead, the monitor works via a small sensor placed just below the surface of your skin. You need to place the accompanying screen monitor above the system to get your glucose reading.

Abstract: A high-sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was proposed using a self-assembly optical glucose-sensitive membrane (OGSM) and an osmoticprotection membrane on a glass/gold sheet.

In the current in vivo study we compared the SCGM system with a commercially available needle type glucose sensor during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and during physical exercise. The SCGM ...
