Glucose Screening Measurements and Noninvasive Glucose Monitor Methods

Noninvasive Glucose Monitor

A novel noninvasive blood glucose monitor.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the precision and accuracy of a new advanced prototype of a noninvasive blood glucose monitor across a wide range of serum glucose concentrations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS An advanced handheld noninvasive glucose monitor prototype was calibrated and tested using patients recruited by the General Research Center of the University of Connecticut Health Center. The monit...

Raman spectroscopy for noninvasive glucose measurements.

We report the first successful study of the use of Raman spectroscopy for quantitative, noninvasive ("transcutaneous") measurement of blood analytes, using glucose as an example. As an initial evaluation of the ability of Raman spectroscopy to measure glucose transcutaneously, we studied 17 healthy human subjects whose blood glucose levels were elevated over a period of 2-3 h using a standard g...

Analytical Performance and Quality Control of a Glucose Monitor System

  Background and Objective: The reliability and validity of monitors for self-monitoring of blood glucose are debated. We evaluated the analytical performance of Accu-check Active (Boehringer Mannheim, Roche) which is one of the most commonly used monitors in Iran. Material and Methods: We compared the monitor readings with the reference values by percentage of values within...

Spectroscopic and clinical aspects of noninvasive glucose measurements.

Frequent determination of glucose concentrations in diabetic patients is an important tool for diabetes management. This requires repetitive lancing and finger bleeding. Use of noninvasive (NI) detection techniques offers several advantages, such as the absence of pain and exposure to sharp objects and biohazard materials, the potential for increased frequency of testing, and hence, tighter con...
