Five days daily sessions of noninvasive blood glucose level predictions based on amplitude modulated ultrasound and infrared technique over a healthy and diabetic subject

Abstract

A noninvasive method based blood glucose predicting device with medically acceptable readings could transform the diabetic management protocols. Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring devices will increase patient compliances along with reduction of medical burden and its related expenses. Here, we had utilized the indigenously developed amplitude modulated ultrasound and infrared technique based noninvasive glucometer for this purpose. A lab based study had been performed to measure the performance of the modulated ultrasound and infrared technique based noninvasive glucometer. A total of 02 subjects (01 healthy normal subject and 01 diabetic subject) were engaged in this study. The working accuracy of noninvasive glucometer readings had been compared with the invasive glucometer readings and plotted over the Clarke Error Grid for its critical analysis. The experimental result depicts a good relationship exists between the predicted (noninvasive) and reference (invasive) blood glucose levels. The Clarke Error Grid Analysis depicts that results of the predictions as well as the reference measurement values occupies the medically significant A and B domains. This experimental result directs towards the potential applications of amplitude modulated ultrasound and infrared technique for continuous noninvasive blood glucose level predictions.
