Electrochemical glucose biosensors have been developed as the analytical devices for laboratory and personal use since the 1950s. Glucose oxidase is the common biorecognition part in the biosensors though the other recognition elements exist. New generations of the biosensors have emerged and various nanomaterials used for the construction of electrodes, enzyme immobilization or nanocatalyzers become popular. This review is focused on the development of glucose electrochemical biosensors. The common facts about diabetes mellitus are described and standard methods for instrumental diagnosis are introduced in this work. The glucose electrochemical biosensors are introduced and four generations of them are characterized. In the last chapter, the current experimental trends are described. In this work, actual literature is surveyed in the field of glucose biosensors as well.
