Zusammenfassung:A noninvasive glucose monitoring device includes a drive-and-sense coil and an electronic oscillator with multiple circuits electrically connected to the coil. The drive-and-sense coil may be embedded in either a finger clip or a finger push button. The device measures bioimpedance with a magnetic field coil outside a user's finger. The coil measures blood and glucose electrical conductivity without penetrating the finger. No blood extraction is required. A noninvasive method of measuring glucose in-vivo includes placing the drive-and-sense coil next to a subject's finger and inducing magnetic fields in blood in the subject's finger. A change in mutual impedance between the drive-and-sense coil and the blood is measured at predetermined frequencies and glucose content is calculated from the change in mutual impedance according to a predetermined correlation for each frequency.
