In recent years, more and more people are aware about their health conditions, and the measures and technologies of monitoring people’s health conditions have updated at the same time. Diabetes is a type of disease that would cause severe effects to other organs in the human body and there is an increasing number of patients with diabetes in recent years. Hence preventing diabetes or monitoring the glucose content in diabetes patients is crucial. Electrochemical biosensors are the devices that can be used for disease monitoring, diabetes is the disease that is included. For monitoring the glucose levels continuously and providing comprehensive safeguarding to the patients, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) which is based on the electrochemical technology is employed. This essay gives a general introduction to electrochemical biosensors and their relative practical applications. Overall, the electrochemical biosensor demonstrates its application in a real-time monitoring of the glucose level in the human body. This research focuses on the principles of converting information from the working electrodes in electrochemical biosensors into electrical signals, the principle of recognizing target analyte in the testing sample and the principle of CGM system and its practical performance.
