The Glucose Sensor: Some Results and Applications

. This review goes through the development of the glucose-controlled insulin infusion systems. The closed-loop system, Biostator®, is described with discussion of demands on technique and function. It deals with the applicability of the glucose sensor in normalizing the diabetic mal-metabolism and selection of any glucose control wanted in experimental situations. The role of the glucose-sensor in clinical use and as a research tool are discussed.
