glucose sensor

Blood sugar detector

A glucose sensor is a device that measures blood sugar levels, used primarily by people with diabetes to monitor their condition.

Traditional sensors require a finger prick for a blood sample, while continuous glucose monitors use a small filament inserted under the skin to track levels throughout the day: My glucose sensor alerts me when I'm running low.
