Abstract
Over the past decade, several continuous glucose monitoring systems have been developed, representing remarkable technological achievements. Most of the systems monitor glucose invasively in the subcutaneous tissue. It is important to realize that there are discrepancies between blood and interstitial glucose concentration, which (1) may impact the quality of the system calibration and thereby the accuracy of the data, (2) may jeopardize the specificity and the sensitivity of hypoglycaemic alarms based on these systems and (3) must be considered in the design of closed-loop insulin delivery systems. The aim of this review is to make the point that the challenge of developing a continuous glucose monitoring system is not only technological, but must also take into account the physiology of glucose in alternate sites where it is sensed.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
