Abstract

Sportaši pokazuju povećani interes za informacijom o glikemiji u realnom vremenu prije, tijekom i nakon tjelesne aktivnosti, i u ovu svrhu se koriste uređaji čiji su primarni korisnici oboljeli od dijabetesa. Tradicionalne invazivne metode poput vađenja krvi iz prsta nastoje se zamijeniti razvojem neinvazivnih metoda, za praćenje razine glukoze. U tu svrhu osmišljena je i pametna narukvica Nitebeam EP01, pomoću koje su 4 ispitanika, za potrebe ovog rada, bilježili dnevne promjene koncentracije glukoze u krvi (uz standardno mjerenje glukoze). Također je promatran i utjecaj konzumacije 3 različita sportska napitka, tijekom 3 treninga, na razinu glukoze. Rezultati pokazuju jasno vidljiv dnevni trend kretanja razine glukoze gdje, nakon svake epizode hranjenja dolazi do naglog porasta, a zatim pada koncentracije glukoze u krvi. Osim toga, nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između podataka o koncentraciji glukoze izmjerenih pomoću glukometra i pomoću pametne narukvice (p>0,05). Uređaj Nitebeam EP01 pokazao je potencijal za kontinuiranu kontrolu glukoze u krvi, ali za kvantitativno praćenje glukoze pomoću narukvice, potrebno ju je testirati na većem broju ispitanika različitih skupina jer je glukometar i dalje pouzdaniji i točniji alat.

Abstract (english)

Athletes are showing increased interest in real-time glycemia information before, during, and after physical activity, and for this purpose, devices primarily used by individuals with diabetes are being utilized.. Traditional invasive methods such as taking blood from the finger are trying to be replaced by the development of non-invasive methods for monitoring glucose levels. For this purpose, the smart bracelet Nitebeam EP01 was designed, with which 4 subjects, for the purposes of this work, recorded daily changes in blood glucose concentration (along with standard glucose measurement). The influence of the consumption of 3 different sports drinks, during 3 training sessions, on the glucose level was also observed. The results show a clearly visible daily trend of glucose levels where, after each feeding episode, there is a sudden increase and then a drop in the concentration of glucose in the blood. In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between data on glucose concentration measured using a gluco-meter and using a smart bracelet (p>0.05). The Nitebeam EP01 device showed potential for continuous blood glucose control, but for quantitative monitoring of glucose using a bracelet, it needs to be tested on a larger number of subjects of different groups because the glucometer is still a more reliable and accurate tool.
