Exploratory Study of Non Invasive Blood Glucose Classification and Prediction Using NIR Diffuse Reflectance Spectra A Chemometric Approach

Abstract

The medical condition under which the human body is not able to produce adequate quantity or quality of insulin to maintain normal level of blood glucose is termed Diabetes Mellitus. It is a leading health issue worldwide which threatens people irrespective of their age groups. Once a person is diagnosed with diabetes, it is essential that the person continuously monitor his/her blood glucose level. Current blood glucose tests are performed by extracting venous blood (clinical measurements) or capillary blood (glucometers by finger stick) that are painful. Hence, a non-invasive blood glucose prediction will be a boon to diabetic patients newline
