Abstract

Continuous subcutaneous microdialysis glucose monitoring system (GlucoDay, A. Menarini Diagnostics, Florence, Italy) was applied to a 31-year-old man with type 1 diabetes mellitus. At the end of a 48-hour monitoring period, it was found that the hollow fiber dialysis chamber had become disconnected from the nylon tube. The hollow fiber was localized by a radiograph of the abdominal wall, and was later successfully removed by a plastic surgeon. This is the first report of this complication of continuous glucose monitoring.
