title: Advances and prospects in glucose assay technology.
abstract: The evolution of glucose assay methods has been central to the development of present therapies for diabetes mellitus. However, new blood glucose assay capabilities, such as convenient and truly continuous monitoring, are now needed to foster a new era of close blood glucose control. The principles and present status of glucose sensors being developed that may fill these requirements are reviewed here.
