Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing prevalence of diabetes has become one of the world’s biggest healthcare challenges, yet people with diabetes are faced with invasive methods of monitoring their blood glucose, with their inherent risk of infection, and with sensors of limited lifetime owing to their electrochemical nature. Electromagnetic devices offer the best potential for delivering the “Holy Grail” of diabetes monitoring—that of a truly noninvasive, wearable blood glucose monitor. However, commercial success to date has been hindered by the huge technical challenges associated with the accurate and reliable measurement of small fluctuations of glucose concentrations inside blood vessels through the skin.
This Special Issue invites both applications of benchtop and wearable glucose monitoring techniques operating at RF, microwave, and mmWave frequencies, with special focus on addressing real-world challenges and solutions with regard to everyday use.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
