Is there a way to non-penetratively monitor blood glucose?


we are working on it (www.diamontech.de) but our device has still the size of a shoebox. I don't think there is a device in a smaller form factor out there that can measure glucose non-invasively (at least with a decent accuracy).


I have heard that there are such systems, probably using optical analysis of tissues, but what I heard was that they were not reliable enough for any medical use. More for dietary monitoring.


It’s a hard problem. Here’s a wikipedia article about it:
