Abstract

Nanotechnology can provide new solutions for diabetes management by developing more accurate .and less invasive methods for glucose monitoring and insulin delivery. For example, nanoparticles can be used as contrast agents to help diagnose type 1 diabetes at an early stage, or as carriers for oral insulin formulations that can bypass the digestive enzymes and reach the bloodstream. Nanosensors can also be implanted or worn on the skin to measure glucose levels continuously and wirelessly, reducing the need for painful finger pricks and frequent testing. Moreover, nanotechnology can enable smart insulin delivery systems that can automatically release insulin in response to variations in blood glucose levels, mimicking the function of a healthy pancreas. This review aims to highlight the recent advances and challenges of nanotechnology in diabetes treatment and prevention.
