Claim Text:
1. An implantable system for monitoring blood-glucose concentration in a patient, comprising: an EGM sensing circuit configured to sense one or more cardiac electrical signal and generate EGM data indicative of the one or more cardiac electrical signal; an EGM analysis unit that is configured to receive the EGM data from the EGM sensing circuit and generate a first metric of blood-glucose concentration using the EGM data; an oxygen metabolism sensor configured to monitor one or more property of oxygen metabolism and, to generate oxygen metabolism data indicative of the one or more property of oxygen metabolism; an oxygen metabolism analysis unit configured to receive the oxygen metabolism data from the oxygen metabolism sensor and, to generate a second metric of blood-glucose concentration using the oxygen metabolism data; and a blood-glucose concentration analysis unit configured to receive the first metric of blood-glucose concentration and the second metric of blood-glucose concentration and, to generate an enhanced metric of blood-glucose concentration.
