With ongoing development of real-time "Free Style Libre" insulin detectors, has anyone ever did insulin analysis over a week period for a wild "forest" mice (not wild type lab mice)?
The Abbott Free Style Libre system does not detect insulin levels only glucose levels.
While you might use the Libre system to monitor diabetic status or blood glucose levels in humans and animal models I am unaware of any wearable system for measuring continuous insulin levels that require radio-immune assays or Elisa to reliably measure insulin in plasma or serum.
Please let me know if you have some other new information.

Is there a clinical need for continuous.insulin or its products measurement?

Apologies Dr. Walls, there was a missing"like" word in "Free Style Libre (like)" detector. I had in mind something like this:
https://doyle.seas.harvard.edu/development-of-a-novel-insulin-sensor/ As well, there are interesting (but homemade for now) efforts for use in clinical environments:
Article Development of a Novel Insulin Sensor for Clinical Decision-Making
In any case, was wondering if there was a piece of technology available for use with mice.

No special clinical need or product measurement.
Thought it could have been a blank control in some metabolic intervention experiments.
There are no data on insulin levels in indigenous mice population within their normal food environment, rather than WT one produced in the lab.
Reason: similar comparison can be projected between two human populations.
