Coated glucose sensors dodge recalibration

Nature Biomedical Engineering volume 2, pages 881–882 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Coating continuous glucose-monitoring sensors with zwitterionic polymer reduces early inflammatory responses and signal noise after sensor implantation in live animals, and improves the performance of the sensors without the need for additional recalibration.
