Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 4.
Diabetes mellitus possesses a serious health challenge worldwide and there has been an
increased awareness for self-monitoring and point of care testing. The development of self-
monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is probably the most important advance in controlling
diabetes since the discovery of insulin.
c) Compare the sensitivity and accuracy of glucose meter with a spectrophotometer.
d) Elaborate the limitation of glucose meter in diagnostic application?
e) Examine the advantage of DNA based biosensor as compared to enzyme biosensor
