Nanotechnology is a field encompassing nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanoparticles, which are of increasing importance to researchers and industrial players alike. Nanotechnology addresses the construction and consumption of substances and devices on the nanometer scale. Nanomedicine is a new field that combines nanotechnology with medicine to boost human health care. Nanomedicine is an interdisciplinary field that includes various areas of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. The most important problems related to diabetes management, such as self-monitoring of blood glucose levels and insulin injections, can now be conquered due to progress in nanomedicine, which offers glucose nanosensors, the layer-by-layer technique, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, oral insulins, microspheres, artificial pancreases and nanopumps. In this review, the key methodological and scientific characteristics of nanomedicine related to diabetes treatment, glucose monitoring and insulin administration are discussed.
纳米技术是一个涵盖纳米结构、纳米材料和纳米颗粒的领域，对研究人员和产业界人士而言，其重要性与日俱增。纳米技术涉及纳米尺度物质和器件的构建与应用。纳米医学是一个将纳米技术与医学相结合以促进人类医疗保健的新领域。纳米医学是一个跨学科领域，涵盖生物学、化学、物理学和工程学的各个方面。由于纳米医学的进展，糖尿病管理中最重要的问题，如血糖水平的自我监测和胰岛素注射，现在都能够得到解决。纳米医学提供了葡萄糖纳米传感器、层层技术、碳纳米管、量子点、口服胰岛素、微球、人工胰腺和纳米泵。在这篇综述中，将讨论与糖尿病治疗、血糖监测和胰岛素给药相关的纳米医学的关键方法学和科学特征。
