What is diabetic neuropathy? The most common complication of diabetes is neuropathy, which is nerve damagecaused by high blood sugar. Most neuropathy affects the legs, hands and feet and usually presents as numbness, pain or tingling. Diabetic neuropathy can also seriously impact the heart, blood vessels, digestive system and the kidneys. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to extreme pain. ...
Novo Nordisk, a global healthcare company with 95 years of innovation and leadership in diabetes care, needed an Internet of Things (IoT = sensors, meters, etc.) platform upon which they could build and operate their current and future digital health offerings aimed at improving diabetes care. In addition to needing an open, device- agnostic platform that could capture data from a variety of ...
Glucose oxidase (GOD) is a typical oxidoreductase found in honey and molds such as Penicillium notatum. It can highly specifically catalyze the β-D-glucose reaction to generate gluconic acid, which has the function of converting glucose and removing oxygen. Since GOD can quantitatively generate hydrogen peroxide, it is widely used in the field of biochemistry and clinical examination as a ...
A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley developed a wearable sensor to monitor an individual’s health based upon their sweat. The sensor is constructed as a patch with a spiral-patterned microfluidic component where sweat samples can flow and be analyzed.[1] It has shown potential for monitoring sodium and fluid loss, and in some cases potassium.[1] The team would ...
