In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figures 1 and 2, a single electrode implantable blood glucose sensor is provided having a base 1 and a printed circuit board 5 disposed therein. The base 1 is a mounting framework of the whole sensor, and a needle-shaped positive electrode 2 and a flat negative electrode 3 are fixed on the bottom surface of the base 1. The needle-shaped positive electrode 2 is vertically installed with the bottom surface of the base 1, the tip end of the needle-shaped positive electrode is arranged downwards, and the flat negative electrode 3 is flatly attached to the bottom of the base 1. When in use, the tip of the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 is implanted into the surface layer of the skin, and the flat negative electrode 3 is tightly adhered to the surface of the skin, so the distance between the tip of the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 and the bottom surface of the base 1 needs to be larger than the distance between the bottom surface of the flat negative electrode 3 and the bottom surface of the base 1, and the tip of the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 is more protruded relative to the bottom surface of the flat negative electrode 3. The fixed end of the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 is connected with a metal contact point for signal input on the printed circuit board 5 through a conducting strip 4, and the fixed end of the flat negative electrode 3 is connected with another metal contact point for signal input on the printed circuit board 5 through another conducting strip 4, thereby forming a double-electrode system for blood sugar detection. The two electrodes generate an electric signal capable of reflecting the blood glucose concentration through an electrochemical reaction, and transmit the electric signal into the printed circuit board 5. An electrically insulating top cover 6 of plastic material is fitted to the base 1, and a printed circuit board 5 is housed and enclosed in the cavity formed by the two.
In the present invention, the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 and the flat negative electrode 3 are used for acquiring the blood glucose concentration electrical signal in the body fluid, and the printed circuit board 5 is used for receiving the blood glucose concentration electrical signal acquired by the electrodes and processing the signals accordingly. The specific form and circuit structure of the printed circuit board 1-2 can be designed for the desired function, or the existing commercial products can be used, which is not the key of the present invention. Generally, a constant potential circuit, a bluetooth antenna, a metal contact, a microprocessor, a peripheral circuit and a lithium battery are required to be arranged on the printed circuit board 5. The electric signals collected by the electrodes need to be transmitted to a microprocessor of the printed circuit board 5 through metal contacts, and then are wirelessly transmitted to a corresponding upper computer through a Bluetooth antenna.
In a two-electrode system, the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 serves as a working electrode, and the form thereof can be realized by any blood glucose electrode in the prior art. In the present embodiment, however, a needle-shaped positive electrode 2 of a multilayer composite structure as shown in fig. 3 is provided.

However, in the present embodiment, the inner structure is a flat metal block, and the surface of the metal block is compounded with a silver/silver chloride layer, so as to reduce the cost. In addition, the bottom surface of the flat negative electrode 3 for fitting the human skin is covered with a conductive layer, wherein the conductive layer is preferably a sticky conductive gel. The conductive gel has better viscosity, can contact with the skin to transmit signals in the use process, and simultaneously fixes the single-electrode implantable blood glucose sensor.
When the single-electrode implantable blood glucose sensor is used, the tip of the needle-shaped positive electrode 2 of the single-electrode implantable blood glucose sensor penetrates into the superficial layer of human skin, stays in a tissue fluid layer and is in electrochemical reaction with body fluid, and the flat negative electrode 3 is fixed on the surface of the human skin through conductive gel, so that only one wound is generated. The sensor continuously monitors blood sugar, and data is output to the printed circuit board through the conducting strip in a form of reaction current through the contact, so that the dynamic blood sugar of a human body is monitored.
Of course, if necessary, a counter electrode can be fixed on the bottom surface of the base 1, and the counter electrode is also connected with a corresponding signal contact on the printed circuit board 5 through the conducting strip 4, so that a three-electrode system is formed to improve the stability of blood sugar monitoring.
