This document presents a project to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring device. It is being developed by a team of 6 students from various engineering departments at Salem College of Engineering and Technology, under the guidance of their mentor Manju R. The document outlines the background and significance of diabetes, existing blood glucose testing techniques, problems with current invasive methods, and their proposed solution - a compact, battery-operated, painless device that uses near-infrared light to measure blood glucose levels non-invasively. It discusses the working mechanism, advantages, budget, potential applications and concludes by summarizing the benefits of developing a comparative non-invasive technique.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Food habits.
 Overweight, obesity, and physical inactivity.
 Insulin resistance.
 Genes and family history.
CAUSES OF DIABETES
 Diabetes is referred as a chronic disease
characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in
the blood.
 Diabetes affects 25.8 million children and adults in
the united states.

4. SIGNS OF DIABETES
•
• Vaginal
infections
• Nausea and
vomiting
• In some
cases, there
will be no
symptoms
• Slow

Excessive
thirst &
hunger
Painful
and

7.  Glucometers are invasive and the process is painful till
date.
 Having a Glucometer just like Pulse-oxymeters, which is
non-invasive & accurate is a big requirement.
 A compactable and battery operated device is not feasible.
 To develop a Non-invasive, Battery operated - Small and
portable device.
 Cost effective – Robust.
 To develop an optional energy accessible device.

8.  India is termed as the “Diabetic capital of the world”, as it is one of the
lives harming disease in the world.
 Survey ensures that over 30 million people including adults and elderly
have now been diagnosed India with diabetes (R.A Bud et.al).
 Addressing those demerits our research will provide a pathway to
develop a portable and non invasive device where people can carry
anyway and also the usage of rural people can be easily accessible.
 Being considering the benefits of non-invasive device it will aid a
painless procedure to determine glucose level in blood additionally.
 As a recommendation of above followed beneficial device, our work will
be focused on designing a compactable hardware device using infrared
signal.

16.  Comparatively non-invasive technique has many
advantage from an invasive or minimally invasive
technique.
 This technique will be affordable as a painless and
easy portable device.
 The devices will be accessed as a comfortable one
since it does not harm the patient
 Infection free device.
