For people with diabetes, it is more painful than taking a taboo to check the blood sugar changes every day, and to inject insulin according to three meals. But what is even more nuisance is that once you have a deviation in the amount of insulin injected, it will not help the blood sugar control, and even life-threatening.
It would be nice if there were other devices that could replace traditional invasive blood glucose tests.
Recently, Korean scientists have developed a new type of diabetes management patch. Only need to be attached to the surface of the skin, you can always monitor blood sugar levels, even when the blood glucose data is too high, it will automatically release hypoglycemic drugs to stabilize blood sugar. It is no exaggeration to say that the advent of this new diabetes management patch has greatly reduced the pain of diabetics measuring blood sugar and injecting insulin.
This new diabetes management patch uses the most popular new wearable device, graphene, as a raw material. It is well known that graphene causes good electrical conductivity, flexibility, and mechanical strength, and has emerged in many wearable devices. This time, it is also the first time that graphene has been applied to smart wearable devices in the health field.
However, since graphene itself does not detect glucose, the R&D team added gold particles to it and combined it with the gold mesh to make a translucent patch that can monitor blood sugar and have flexibility.
A variety of sensors are built into the patch to detect skin surface moisture, glucose levels in sweat, pH, sweat secretions, and skin surface temperature. The data is used to determine the wearer's current blood glucose level. Once the system analysis reveals that the current blood glucose level is too high, the heater embedded in the patch triggers the microneedle, dissolves the outer shell, and releases the hypoglycemic agent metformin, thereby stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin.
Like traditional smart wearables, the Diabetes Management Patch comes with a companion app. After the patch is wirelessly connected to the smartphone, the user can view the current glycemic index and adjust the dose of the drug through the companion app.
Researchers say that because of the need for microneedles to puncture the skin when injecting drugs, there is a different tingling sensation depending on the person. Currently, the R&D team has experimented with diabetes mice and succeeded. However, this approach is not a blessing and no harm. Blood glucose testing using graphene patches takes a long time and is delayed. And when tested in human subjects, the amount of drug injected into the wristband was too small.
Although there are still some problems with this diabetes management patch, the successful development of graphene patches has already meant a breakthrough in diabetes adjuvant therapy.
