Abstract:
Continuous glucose monitors are crucial for diabetes management, but invasive sampling, signal drift and frequent calibrations restrict their widespread usage. Microneedle sensors are emerging as a minimally-invasive platform for real-time monitoring of clinical parameters in interstitial fluid. Herein, a painless and flexible microneedle sensing patch is constructed by a mechanically-strong microneedle base and a thin layer of fluorescent hydrogel sensor for on-site, accurate, and continuous glucose monitoring. The Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based hydrogel sensors are fabricated by facile photopolymerizations of acryloylated FRET pairs and glucose-specific phenylboronic acid. The optimized hydrogel sensor enables quantification of glucose with reversibility, high selectivity, and signal stability against photobleaching. Poly (ethylene glycol diacrylate)-co-polyacrylamide hydrogel is utilized as the microneedle base, facilitating effective skin piercing and biofluid extraction. The integrated microneedle sensor patch displays a sensitivity of 0.029 mM-1 in the (patho)physiological range, a low detection limit of 0.193 mM, and a response time of 7.7 min in human serum. Hypoglycemia, euglycemia and hyperglycemia are continuously monitored over 6 h simulated meal and rest activities in a porcine skin model. This microneedle sensor with high transdermal analytical performance offers a powerful tool for continuous diabetes monitoring at point-of-care settings.
