NIR Light Tests for Blood Sugar

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec. 22, 2010 — Researchers in Japan have demonstrated that the glycemic index (GI) can be determined by measuring the light emitted when the palm of the hand is illuminated with NIR light. NIR spectroscopy measurements through the palm of the hand have proved the most suitable for the analysis of blood glucose for glycemic index determination. A reliable, noninvasive technique for checking blood glucose has eluded medical analysts despite many years of research by teams in many countries. While NIR spectroscopy is ideally suited to the task, the wide variety of conditions under which the test would...Read full article
