Handbook of optical sensing of glucose in biological fluids and tissues / edited by Valery V. Tuchin.

A Taylor & Francis book.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Presents methods that improve the accuracy in glucose prediction based on infrared absorption spectroscopy, recent studies on the influence of acute hyperglycemia on cerebral bloodflow, and the correlation between diabetes and the thermo-optical response of human skin. Examines skin glucose monitoring by near-infrared spectorscopy, flourescence-based glucose biosensors, and a photonic crystal contact lens sensor. Explores problems of polarimetric glucose sensing in transparent and turbid tisues as well as offer a high-resolution optical technique for noninvasive, continuous, and accurate blood glucose monitoring and glucose diffusion measurement.
