Abstract: A method and apparatus for noninvasive measurement
of blood glucose concentration based on transilluminated laser beam
via the Index Finger has been reported in this paper. This method
depends on atomic gas (He-Ne) laser operating at 632.8nm
wavelength. During measurement, the index finger is inserted into the
glucose sensing unit, the transilluminated optical signal is converted
into an electrical signal, compared with the reference electrical
signal, and the obtained difference signal is processed by signal
processing unit which presents the results in the form of blood
glucose concentration. This method would enable the monitoring
blood glucose level of the diabetic patient continuously, safely and
noninvasively.
