Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring

The are several non-invasive blood glucose monitoring available in the market

Diasensor 1000
 

Infra-red light passes through the skin into the blood and is reflected back intot he sensor.  The reflected light is analyzed and converted into blood glucose level and displayed on the screen

 
 

The Diasensor 1000 is manufactured by:  Biocontrol Technology, Incorporated  Pittsburgh, PA 15220  Telephone: (412) 429-0673  Fax: (412) 279-1367

By passing infra-red light through patient's finger and sensing the amount of scattered light, the system can detect and predict glucose concentration from collected near infra-red (NIR) light at various wavelength with an acceptable level of accuracy.  Patent No 5,553,616  Florida Institute of  Technology  Melbourne, FL 32901

 
 

SpectRx Non-Invasive Diabetes Screening Test  Spect Inc.  The system works by measuring the intensity of the flourescent and scattering in the lens of the eye.  The measurement is performed through a undilated pupil with the assistance of the pupil tracking system.  Boehringer Mannheim Corporation (BMC)

 
 

About Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitor  At the moment, non-invasive technology is still in the experimental stage. There are no non-invasive Blood Glucose Meters approved for use in the United States.  Though the Diasensor 1000 is allegedly approved for use in Germany and the United Kingdom, we know of no one who has actually purchased a unit.

Optical Signature - glucose has its own unique pattern of  "light energy" at different near infra-red wavelengths measurement of glucose in the blood through the intensity of the glucose optical signature

 
The Glucowatch by Gygnus
 

Electro osmosis- uses low level of electric current  to extract glucose molecules through intact skin.  Glucose molecules are collected in a small, daily disaposable Gluco Pad, which adhere to the skin and is connected to a sensor.  The glucose triggers an electro chemical reaction with a reagent in the gluco pad generating an electric current.  The sensor measures the electron and a custom application specific integrated circuit in the glucowatch equates the level of electron emmission to a concerntration of glucose in the patients blood.      Cygnus, Incorporated  Corporate Communications  Redwood City, CA 94063
