Abstract: Gold nanoparticles possess unique mechanical, chemical, photo-optical and biological
properties and have been an interesting field of research on life sciences. The research studies
produced new nanodevices and nanotechnology-based biosensing, diagnostics therapeutics, and
targeted drug delivery systems. In this review, the unique potential aspects of gold nanoparticles/
nanoformulations/ or devices related to diabetes management have been discussed together with the
recent patent on the gold nanoparticles developed for diabetes management. The first part of this
review will focus on recent strategies for the treatment of hyperglycemia and its management with the
help of gold nanoparticles and the second part of the review focused on recent patents on gold
nanoparticles useful in the diabetes management. Gold nanoparticles have proved themselves useful in
diabetes therapeutics and diagnostics. Due to the high surface area, and low toxicity, gold nanoparticles
have become a unique aspect of the delivery approach. The main issues that need to be covered are the
biopharmaceutics, biocompatibility, and potential clinical applications.
