Scheme 1. Setup for simultaneous thermometric and blood-glucose analyser measurements,
using a micro-dialysis in-vivo probe on a human volunteer

Fig. 11. In-vivo glucose load with a healthy volunteer. Points plotted on the graph (+) are the
glucose concentrations measured with a blood glucose analyser and (-) are the peaks of tem-
perature change. The dialysis fiber (10 mm) was inserted subcutaneously. The perfusion rate
was 3
