Noninvasive Procedure for Monitoring Blood Glucose Using A Saliva Analyzing System

Abstract

If blood glucose levels measuring procedure is developed that can monitor blood glucose levels noninvasively, it will ease medical check drastically detection and cure of the disease at an early stage. This study aim to develop a noninvasively measuring of blood glucose using saliva. We manufactured a saliva analyzing system using glucose sensor and performed in vivo evaluations of it. As the results, it was cleared that determination of saliva glucose levels were in the range of 0.1 to 10.0mg/dl. This system allows us to monitor the time-course changes of saliva glucose levels. Thus, this measurement system of saliva glucose levels can be used as an indicator of blood glucose levels.
