A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has shed light on how this glucose traffic management goes wrong in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), offering exciting new possibilities for treatment.

In a recent study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad have developed a blood glucose sensor to monitor blood sugar using light. It can measure a wide range of values of blood glucose, between 10 to 200 mg/dl, say the researchers. The average blood sugar level in healthy adults when fasting is between 70 to 120 mg/dl.
