Numerous kinds of biosensors do exist, but this chapter is confined to sensors and systems
where the information is gathered by the measurement of photons (rather than electrons as …

This critical review covers the present state of the art in optical sensing of glucose. Following
an introduction into the significance of (continuous) sensing of glucose and a brief look back …

Worldwide, diabetes is a rapidly growing problem that is managed at the individual level by
