Sensors constructed from carbon nanomaterials and their applications

Diabetes is a growing disease, with patient morbidity and mortality increasing every year. Since diabetes is associated with short- and long-term health problems, it has become extremely important to detect and effectively treat diabetes. Many research institutes and healthcare organizations are leaning towards the use of cost-effective biosensors to monitor the body's blood glucose standards and provide accurate health diagnosis. Biosensors help in accurate diabetes diagnosis and monitoring for effective treatment and management. Based on the recent advances in nanotechnology, a variety of glucose biosensors made of carbon nanomaterials have been developed, and such sensors are a key factor for diabetes diagnosis and treatment, with better performance and sensitivity for better detection of the disease and tracking of the response to treatment. Thus, this research illustrates the significant advances in nanotechnology-based biosensors for medical applications and the potential of carbon nanomaterials for good applications in medical testing.
