      Introduction Patients with diabetes type 1 (DM1) struggle daily to achieve good glucose control. The last decade has seen a rush of research groups working towards an artificial pancreas (AP) through the application of a ...

    • Effect of sensor location on continuous intraperitoneal glucose sensing in an animal model 

      Åm, Marte Kierulf; Kölle, Konstanze; Fougner, Anders Lyngvi; Dirnena-Fusini, Ilze; Bösch, Patrick Christian; Ellingsen, Reinold; Hjelme, Dag Roar; Stavdahl, Øyvind; Carlsen, Sven Magnus; Christiansen, Sverre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In diabetes research, the development of the artificial pancreas has been a major topic since continuous glucose monitoring became available in the early 2000’s. A prerequisite for an artificial pancreas is fast and reliable ...

    • Feasibility of early meal detection based on abdominal sound. 

      Kölle, Konstanze; Fougner, Anders Lyngvi; Ellingsen, Reinold; Carlsen, Sven Magnus; Stavdahl, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background In classical approaches for an artificial pancreas, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is the only measured variable used for insulin dosing and additional control functions. The CGM values are subject to time ...

    • Feasibility of supercontinuum sources for use in glucose sensing by absorption spectroscopy 

      Fuglerud, Silje Skeide; Milenko, Karolina Barbara; Ellingsen, Reinold; Aksnes, Astrid; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Diabetes mellitus 1 requires tight control of the blood glucose levels to avoid harmful effects of either too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar. Due to the availability of low-cost components, ...

    • Glucose sensing by absorption spectroscopy using lensed optical fibers 

      Fuglerud, Silje Skeide; Milenko, Karolina Barbara; Ellingsen, Reinold; Aksnes, Astrid; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The bulkiness of common transmission spectroscopy probes prevents applicability at remote locations such as within the body. We present the fabrication and characterization of lensed fibers for transmission spectroscopy ...

    • Investigation of the effect of clinically relevant interferents on glucose monitoring using near‐infrared spectroscopy 

      Fuglerud, Silje Skeide; Ellingsen, Reinold; Aksnes, Astrid; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is a promising technique for continuous blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients. Four interferents, at physiological concentrations, were introduced to study how the glucose predictions ...
