The optical and electrical non-invasive methods of measurement for glucose concentration in biological liquids

Abstract

The article describes the radio-wave and optical methods of determining glucose concentration. The radio-wave method is based on the use of a sensor with a resonant frequency that is displayed when in contact with highly lossy materials and with an extended near-field zone in the resonance area. The optical method is based on studying the influence of glucose concentration (0–20 mmol/l) in bidistilled water on absorption spectra in the range of 190-1000 nm. The article presents the results of the experimental test of the near-field sensor with the pre-produced biological media imitating the human body tissues, and the results of the optical method demonstrate the possibility to measure the concentration with the use of an optical emitter with a wave length of 830 nm.
