Overview

Glucose is a six-carbon monosaccharide (an aldohexose) that serves as the principal circulating fuel in humans and a central node in carbohydrate metabolism. Maintained within a narrow physiological range by insulin and counter-regulatory hormones, blood glucose concentration is the defining biochemical variable in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. The studies gathered here approach glucose from complementary angles. A substantial group addresses measurement: reviews and device-development work on non-invasive and model-based continuous glucose monitoring, including its feasibility in non-insulin-dependent individuals and in athletes during exercise. Others examine glucose regulation in specific physiological states, such as impaired regulation under low energy intake and the screening and outcomes of gestational diabetes. Mechanistic and bioinformatic contributions explore the metabolomics of type 2 diabetes, the interplay between glucose and insulin in regulating matrix metalloproteinase activity, and the non-enzymatic chemistry by which glucose-derived methylglyoxal drives advanced glycation cross-links and oxidative radical formation. Additional work considers glucose dynamics in stored platelets and the effects of dietary and herbal interventions on glycaemic control. Together these themes frame glucose as both a metabolic substrate and a clinically actionable biomarker linking measurement technology, physiology, and the molecular pathology of hyperglycaemia.
