Research abstract
Blood glucose monitoring is a technique that is widely applied in current diabetes care. It gives testimate of blood glucose upon which changes in their management can be made. The current method, whsource of lancet induced blood sample, is somewhat inconvenient and entails considerable cost. Thesefrequent application of this technique by all diabetic patients. Therefore a non-invasive method ofdetermination that would be convenient, fast, and not require a blood sample could have significantfor diabetes management. The objective of this application is to develop a near-infrared based noninwhich fulfills current requirements of self blood glucose monitoring. Tight control of blood glucosethe devastating complications of diabetes. Attaining normal blood glucose is a tremendous undertakinand the development of a noninvasive glucose meter will significantly reduce barriers to achieving t
