Graphene patches over diabetes treatment - Materials Today
A new graphene-based wearable patch that monitors and regulates blood glucose levels in sweat could make managing diabetes much easier for patients, according to researchers from Korea’s Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Seoul National University, MC10, and the University of Texas at Austin.

The stretchable silicone device, which sits comfortably on the skin, is fabricated from gold-doped graphene on a gold mesh layer with integrated glucose, humidity, pH, and strain sensors
