This chapter describes the general requirements for using fluorescence for in vivo

glucose monitoring. A survey of reported work in the areas of glucose receptors,

assays for glucose using these receptors, and various fluorescence phenomena is dis-

cussed. In addition, the materials and methods for interfacing measurement instru-

mentation with receptors for construction of biosensors are described.
