Non-invasive blood glucose measurement

The paper presents a system for measuring blood glucose level based on spectroscopy in the near infrared range. Specific features of this system are limited spectral range of measurements, and the use of visible light detector to identify the density of irradiated tissue and to correct measurement results in the infrared range. Presented are principles of measuring system construction, including measures undertaken to increase its precision and results of tests carried out using the constructed measurement system. The results are close to those obtained from a traditional meter.
