Patent

CA 2042373

Systems are disclosed which utilize implanted glucose sensitive living cells to monitor blood glucose levels. The implanted cells produce a detectable electrical or optical signal in response to changes in glucose concentration in surrounding tissue. The signal is then detected and interpreted to give a reading indicative o~ blood glucose levels. Capsules containing glucose sensitive cells and electrodes for detecting electrical activity are also disclosed. Methods of monitoring blood glucose are also described utilizing the systems and capsules disclosed.

Systèmes utilisant les cellules vivantes implantées sensibles au glucose pour contrôler les niveaux de glucose dans le sang. Les cellules implantées produisent un signal électrique ou optique détectable en réponse à des changements de concentration de glucose dans des tissus environnants. Le signal est ensuite détecté et interprété afin de donner une valeur indicative des niveaux de glucose dans le sang. On décrit également des capsules contenant des cellules sensibles au glucose et des électrodes destinées à détecter l'activité électrique. L'invention concerne également des procédés de contrôle du glucose dans le sang utilisant les systèmes et les capsules décrits.
