AbstractA potentially implantable semiconductor-laser-based sensor is demonstrated to be feasible for glucose detection at concentrations found in the human blood. In the system, the monochromatic, linearly polarized light from a diode laser is directed into an external cavity with a second diode laser at the far end. The cavity is filled with a glucose solution of varying physiological concentrations. The interference of the rotated, polarized light from the first diode laser with that of the second laser is monitored by a photodiode, forming an optoelectronic pair with the first diode laser. A variation in glucose concentration of 0.1 to 0.3 g/dl results in a 5% variation in the photodiode current. This variation is sufficient to provide feedback to an insulin pump.

Background : There is no data available on the best insulin treatment to counteract the effects of glucose excursions due to a moderate alcohol intake associated with portions of slight fat and protein-containing food, as often the case during social happenings or “happy hours”. Introduction: This study analyzes the glycemic control and quality of life in 8 adult type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients on insulin-pump therapy which were invited to consume a traditional Italian aperitif (“Spritz” and chips). Introduction : This study analyzes the glycemic control and quality of life in 8 adult type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients on insulin-pump therapy which were invited to consume a traditional Italian aperitif (“Spritz” and chips). Methods: Patients consumed Spritz aperitif twice: using their habitual bolus, based on carbohydrates (CHO) counting (V1), or with a personalized, advanced bolus (V2) calculated from insulin/Kcal derived from Fats and Proteins (FPU). Post-prandial glucose was continuously monitored; glucose incremental areas (iAUC), glucose peak and time to peak, and estimated change from V1 to V2 from repeated- measures models were computed. Each patient fulfilled validated questionnaires on quality of life, knowledge about diabetes and CHO counting. Results : After the educational program, a reduced iAUC (0-80 min: -306, p=ns; 40-80 min: -400, p=0.07) due to greater (p=0.03) and prolonged double-wave insulin boluses was observed. Blood glucose peak and time to peak were also reduced. Moreover, improvements in the psycho-affective dimension, as well as in the alimentary knowledge were detected. Conclusion: Therefore, a personalized educational program on CHO + FPU counting together with insulin bolus management can improve glycemic control during social consumption of alcohol, with positive reflections on the psycho-affective dimension. Further studies are mandatory to confirm such preliminary results.
