1. A method comprising:

  • monitoring blood-glucose concentration in blood of a subject using a system implanted in a subject wherein the system has stored relationships therein between blood-glucose concentration and at least a first physiological metric, and wherein the system implanted in the subject performs the steps of(a) obtaining a measure of the first physiological metric using one or more sensors of the system implanted in the subject; and

    (b) calculating the blood-glucose concentration using the stored relationships and the measure of the first physiological metric without using a measure obtained from an enzymatic sensor;

    wherein the first physiological metric is a blood oxygen metric.
