*4.3. Role of AI in Novel Treatments and Monitoring of Diabetes*

Monitoring blood glucose levels is a crucial tool to prevent complications such as hypoglycemia, which may lead to coma, seizures, or even death. AI has been applied to analyze breath samples taken from different subjects to determine hypoglycemic states. This was inspired by diabetes alert dogs which could detect hypoglycemia based on their owner's breath [20]. This presents a new way of

monitoring glucose control and may help in the future to increase the uptake of self-glucose monitoring, that is currently mostly done with a glucometer, which is still quite troublesome for the patient and involves the pricking of the fingers, which some might not be comfortable with.
