Abstract

A light based method and technique for measuring the static and average plasma glucose concentration over a prolonged period of time. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a method that utilizes mathematical analysis of appendage mobile LED flash IR light transmittance, absorption and scattering by using high resolution mobile camera data to estimate the concentration of glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
