Patent Images
1. A method for continuously monitoring blood glucose concentration, comprising:
- deploying an equilibrium glucose sensor in interstitial fluid in a patient, wherein the equilibrium glucose sensor comprises an indicator system comprising a fluorophore and a glucose binding moiety, wherein the indicator system is configured to generate a signal related to the blood glucose concentration; and
coupling the sensor to a monitor configured to detect the optical signal, and determine and display the patient'"'"'s blood glucose concentration, and a rate and direction of change in the blood glucose concentration.
