Description: Diabetes has evolved as one of the principal health care epidemics of the modern era. At present, the widely used method of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) involves determination of blood glucose concentration with specific devices using chemical analysis of blood samples taken by puncturing the finger or the forearm. Although SMBG has revolutionized the management of diabetes, discomfort and inconvenience of this invasive technique are frequent barriers for effective compliance and therefore, optimum management. The aim of this paper is to discuss the feasibility study and design issues of noninvasive infrared glucose (NIR) measurement technique using optical method which would be able to overcome the current limitations.
