Hello

Can you tell me please what enzymes do continuous glucose monitors use?

I think the available are:
GO = glucose oxidase
GDH-PQQ = glucose dehydrogenase with pyrroloquinolinequinone
GDH-NAD = glucose dehydrogenase with nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide
GDH-FAD = glucose dehydrogenase with flavin-adenine dinucleotide

But if they use alternatives please let me know.

Thanks!
 
Hi @Rabdos

I don't have a clue and didn't even consider enzymes being used. However, I put the question to Google and wonder if any of the links might be of help. Maybe you've already asked Google, of course Apologies if you have

Good luck in your search

I used the this thread title Which enzymes do continuous glucose monitors use? as a search term and came up with some interesting reading as well.
 
What was that reading?

If they don't use enzymes what do they use?
 
Just google it. Mine uses glucose oxidase. I found that out by googling it.
