Abstract

Due to the huge increase in the number of the patients diagnostic with diabetes around the world, a new generation of reliable, accurate, and painless blood glucose monitoring techniques are needed to fit the patient comfort. Blood glucose levels must be maintained in order to limit the severe consequences of diabetes. Nowadays, different technologies provide limited monitoring devices for diabetic patients. In this paper, we discuss a quite new noninvasive technology that has several beneficial features. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has become a promising technology for blood glucose measurements. The main objective of our project is to detect glucose concentration based on transmitted light intensity through a human sample, which is measured by a detector. Hence, this will enable us to classify the subject as normal, hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemia.
