Abstract: India has been declared as the diabetic capital of world. By 2030 there would be 366 million diabetics throughout the world and 79.44 million diabetics in India alone according to WHO, 2007. It is estimated that by the year 2030, diabetes is likely to be the seventh leading cause of death accounting 3.3% of total deaths in the world. Self-monitoring of glucose levels is major problem along with other conventional problems faced by patients, can be solved by use of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology offers accurate and timely medical information for diagnosing disease by administering miniature devices. Nanomedicine can assist elderly and children to perform regular tests like checking blood sugar levels without difficulty or pain as well give timely and accurate results. Nanotechnology can now offer new implantable and wearable sensing technologies like glucose nanosensors, layer-by layer (LBL) technique, carbon nanotubes, artificial pancreas and nanopumps which provide continuous and extremely precise medical information helping patients to maintain the quality life.
