Recent Advances in Graphene-Based Electrical Glucose Monitoring

The WHO notes that diabetes can contribute to various health problems, such as blindness, lethargy, kidney failure, strokes, numbness, and heart attacks. Diabetes can be an even worthy- noting problem in developing countries. In many developing countries, there has been significant economic growth over the past decade, but current projections indicate a slowing of this trend. Thus, it is crucial to prevent missed diagnoses and delayed treatment, as these could lead to fatal consequences. Regular glucose monitoring is an indispensable diagnostic tool that allows doctors to identify early symptoms of diabetes and administer timely treatment to avert severe complications. This review provides a peek into the basics of graphene, as well as the very recent advances since 2020 utilizing graphene, GO, rGO, and other novel graphene composite to monitor glucose.
