Glucose Monitoring Devices: Measuring Blood Glucose to Manage and Control Diabetes. This item is unavailable.Glucose Monitoring Devices: Measuring Blood Glucose to Manage and Control Diabetes

Glucose Monitoring Devices: Measuring Blood Glucose to Manage and Control Diabetes presents the state-of-the-art regarding glucose monitoring devices and the clinical use of monitoring data for the improvement of diabetes management and control. Chapters cover the two most common approaches to glucose monitoring-self-monitoring blood glucose and continuous glucose monitoring-discussing their components, accuracy, the impact of use on quality of glycemic control as documented by landmark clinical trials, and mathematical approaches. Other sections cover how data obtained from these monitoring devices is deployed within diabetes management systems and new approaches to glucose monitoring.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment on glucose monitoring devices not otherwise found in a single manuscript. Its comprehensive variety of topics makes it an excellent reference book for doctoral and postdoctoral students working in the field of diabetes technology, both in academia and industry.

Dr. Chiara Fabris is Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and member of the faculty at the Center for Diabetes Technology. She holds a Master’s and a Doctoral Degree in Bioengineering from the University of Padova (Padova, Italy) and has significant experience in mathematical modeling and simulation – especially regarding the glucose/insulin regulation system – and algorithm development. Over the past four years, Dr. Fabris has been awarded an Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowship and a Career Development Award by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which supported the development and clinical testing of decision support systems to help people with diabetes manage their disease. Dr. Fabris is involved in several projects focused on optimization of treatments for diabetes and diabetes data science.
