Recently there is great interest in applying infrared optical spectroscopic technique for blood glucose monitoring. The development of a noninvasive optical monitoring technique for diabetes has important medical implications for the treatment of diabetic patients, whose bodies cannot maintain their normal levels of glucose present in the blood stream. Various optical spectroscopic techniques such as attenuation total reflection, transmission/diffuse reflection spectroscopy, optical polarimetry and Raman scattering have been studied to determine glucose concentrations. These optical techniques are satisfactory for determining glucose concentration in vitro, but suffer from light scattering when applied in vivo. In this paper we report a new method for non invasive glucose monitoring based on pulsed photoacoustic technique. The photoacoustic technique is quite different from optical method in that it does not rely on the direct detection of the reflected, scattered or transmitted light. Therefore light scattering effect due to tissue cells is eliminated. In the experiment, glucose solutions in the concentration range of 30~600?mg/L are used as samples. It is shown that 3 parameters, i.e., optical absorption coefficient, sound velocity and thermal property, of glucose solution, can be determined in a single experiment. The experimental results have shown that the measured photoacoustic signal is proportional to the glucose concentration with a constant slope even in the presence of various blood analytes such as albumin, salt and cholesterol. The accuracy of the measurement at 1?700?nm reaches 18 mg/L, one of the highest ever reported for non invasive glucose concentration measurement.
