The birth of a new technology to help diabetics stabilize blood sugar

A study was conducted at the Karolinska Institute and several other European research centers. The researchers used a new device to measure subcutaneous fat blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. The results showed that patients can use this new technology to maintain more Stable blood sugar control level. The study's findings were published in the recent issue of The Lancet.

The new technology puts the glucose sensor in the subcutaneous position of the upper arm of the diabetic, making it easy for the patient to monitor the current blood glucose level in real time to see if the blood sugar level is stable, or whether there is a tendency to rise or fall, so that it can be used prophylactically. The drug is adjusted.

Jan Bolinder, clinical professor at the Karolinska Institute of Medicine, said, "Our idea is that this new technology will replace the traditional blood sugar level test."

Researchers have conducted performance tests on this new device in patients with type 1 diabetes who are well-controlled with insulin. These patients have a higher risk of developing hypoglycemia after using insulin. After testing, after using the device to monitor blood glucose in real time, the patient can dynamically understand his or her blood sugar level and effectively prevent hypoglycemia.

Experts say that diabetes is currently difficult to cure and can only be maintained. The invention of this new technology aims to help patients control their blood sugar levels more stably and prevent drugs from causing adverse reactions to hypoglycemia or poor glycemic control.
