Abstract
Near-infrared quantitative analysis instruments non-invasively measure blood glucose by analyzing near-infrared energy following interactance with venous or arterial blood, or transmission through a blood containing body part. A replaceable cartridge stores data unique to an individual patient/user. The analysis instruments are accurate and readily lend themselves to at-home testing by diabetics.
