Diabetes poses a significant global health challenge, underscoring the urgent need for accurate and continuous glucose monitoring technologies. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of both invasive and non-invasive sensor technologies, with a particular focus on antenna-sensors and their working principle. Key aspects, including the selection of substrates and conductive materials, fabrication techniques, and recent advancements in rigid and flexible antenna-sensor designs, are critically evaluated. Notably, textile antenna-sensors are gaining increasing attention due to their potential for seamless integration into daily clothing. Furthermore, the influence of the human body on antenna-sensor performance is examined, emphasizing the importance of human phantom simulation and fabrication for precise modeling and validation. Finally, this review highlights the current technical challenges in the development of flexible antenna-sensors and discusses their transformative potential in enabling next-generation, non-invasive, and patient-centric glucose monitoring solutions.
