USE OF AN EQUILIBRIUM INTRAVASCULAR SENSOR TO ACHIEVE TIGHT GLYCEMIC CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method for achieving tight glycemic control in a patient in need thereof, comprising:
- deploying an equilibrium glucose sensor within a blood vessel in the patient;
coupling the sensor to a monitor that displays the blood glucose concentration; and
administering a blood glucose regulator when the blood glucose concentration varies outside of a predetermined concentration range, wherein the blood glucose regulator is administered in an amount sufficient to return the blood glucose concentration to within the predetermined concentration range, thereby achieving tight glycemic control.

Abstract
A method for achieving tight glycemic control in a patient in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprises deploying an equilibrium glucose sensor within a blood vessel in the patient, coupling the sensor to a monitor that displays the blood glucose concentration, and administering a blood glucose regulator when the blood glucose concentration varies outside of the predetermined concentration range. The blood glucose regulator is administered in an amount sufficient to return the blood glucose concentration to within the predetermined concentration range, thereby achieving tight glycemic control.

32. A method for achieving tight glycemic control in a patient in need thereof, comprising:
-
deploying an equilibrium glucose sensor within a blood vessel in the patient, wherein the equilibrium glucose sensor comprises a fluorescent dye operably coupled to a boronic acid functionalized quencher; coupling the sensor to a monitor that displays the blood glucose concentration and the rate and direction of change in the blood glucose concentration; and administering a blood glucose regulator when the blood glucose concentration varies outside of a predetermined concentration range, wherein the blood glucose regulator is administered in an amount sufficient to return the blood glucose concentration to within the predetermined concentration range or reverse a rising or falling trend in the blood glucose concentration, thereby achieving tight glycemic control. - View Dependent Claims (33)
