Abstract

Diabetes is a fast growing problem nowadays worldwide. Diabetes, not a curable disease needs blood glucose to be measured very often. Blood glucose measurement is by various methods. Glucose sensors help in measuring blood glucose level. Glucose sensors employ various methods in different technologies to measure blood glucose level. Recently nanosensors employs nanotechnology for blood glucose measurement. Nanosensors fabricated by different nanomaterials has high sensitivity because of high surface to volume ratio. This paper discusses the several methods to measure blood glucose with the advantage and disadvantage.
