Current development in non-invasive glucose monitoring.
Painless control of blood glycemic levels could improve life quality of diabetes patients, enabling a better regulation of hyper- and hypoglycaemia episodes and thereby avoiding physiological complications. Although research groups have been trying for decades to separate non-invasive glucose information from interference compounds, none of the available commercial devices offers enough precision to replace lancet approaches. Many reviews have already been published on this topic, but the great amount of information available and the fast development of technologies require a continuous update in the research status. Besides the description of current in-vivo methods and the analysis of devices available commercially, one also explains treatment algorithms useful for multivariate analysis.
