N2 - We developed a transdermal continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system that consists of an implanted fluorescent-hydrogel fiber and a wearable photo-detector. While we showed the potential of the fluorescent-hydrogel fibers for applying to CGM in our previous study, we are still on the way to realize "true" CGM system. In our CGM system, the wearable detector reads the fluorescent signals through skin layers. The fluorescence signals showed a good correlation with the blood glucose concentrations measured by a conventional method. Therefore, our system has the great potential for a practically usable device to realize a CGM.
