Biolinq Shine: New Sensor Doesn’t Require Needle to Measure Glucose

October 27, 2025 / Clinical Practice / InnovateMed Author / glucose

There is a new glucose sensor that’s just been approved by the FDA. This sensor is very different from any other sensor our patients have ever encountered, because it’s basically a sensor that doesn’t require a needle to go under the skin to measure glucose. My patients have been asking me forever if there is a

Glucose helps T cells build cancer-fighting structures, not just provide energy

August 6, 2025 / Research update / InnovateMed Author / cancer, glucose

by Beth Hinshaw, Van Andel Research Institute edited by Stephanie Baum, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Glucose is more than just an essential fuel for T cells—significant amounts of glucose also are used to build large molecules called glycosphingolipids (GSLs). These sugar-fat compounds are essential for T cell growth, internal communication and making proteins that T cells use to

by The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Credit: Neuron (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2025.05.024 Starting with the question “How does our brain distinguish glucose from the many nutrients absorbed in the gut?” a KAIST research team has demonstrated that the brain can selectively recognize specific nutrients—particularly glucose—beyond simply detecting total
