Abstract :
This article describes the algorithm for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The CGM system consists of an external reader and an insertable fluorescence based sensor. The sensor consists of a miniaturized optical sensor that incorporates a biocompatible macromolecular indicator that selectively binds glucose. It is designed to be subcutaneously inserted and allows for the direct measurement of interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose.
