Glucose painless monitors

In order to avoid the negative affects of the blood glucose like neuropathies, blindness, coma, and sequela etc, one must have continous monitor on their sugar levels. the present reliable method of noticing body's glucose is by finger pricking and using glucose oxidase to get the value, but this painfull approach is discouraging most of the individuals to keep their record update. so, these consequencies lead to the studies on non-invasive techniques for continous easy monitoring of ones glucose levels(1).

Easy Measurement of more glucose values and wide spread usage of its applications than invasive methods appealed Near Infrered Spectroscopy(NIRS)[2].

Human body generates radiation in the range of Mid Infrared region contains spectral information of tissue analytes, but depends on ones tissue composition and analyte concentration[3].
