Schematic of mechanics of pH-responsive cationic hydrogels with glucose oxidase, based on the work of Podual [93]. Glucose appearance results in the production of gluconic acid, which decreases the system pH. pH-induced swelling results in increased diffusion of insulin from within the gel. As glucose is utilized, the mechanism is reversed.
