Perhaps the most well-known electrochemical sensor is the blood glucose meter. Commercial blood glucose meters contain an enzyme called glucose oxidase (GOx), which oxidizes glucose to gluconolactone. A by-product of this reaction is H2O2, which can be detected by direct electrochemistry [80]. Because this strategy has proven robust, glucose detection is a commonly used proof-of-concept sensing strategy for novel electrode materials. Recent reports have shown in vitro measurements of glucose using this common sensing strategy for silk cloth functionalized with Pt-decorated MWCNTs [81] and graphene [82], SWCNTs functionalized with glucose oxidase patterned on PET [83], and electrochemically activated SWCNTs on PEN [77].

Daily glucose monitoring is an important and necessary aspect of T1D management. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) refers to the use of point of care glucose meters to measure capillary blood glucose. Blood is acquired from a finger prick and collected on a test strip. The test strip contains an enzyme, usually glucose oxidase or glucose dehydrogenase [33]. The meter facilitates an electrochemical reaction that is translated into a blood glucose meter reading. SMBG is the most commonly used method for glucose monitoring but its limitations affect its utility in clinical practice. These include inadequate testing frequency due to discomfort, social stigma associated with testing in public and improper acquisition of the blood sample [34].
