“…A different type of sensor array, conducting polymer, was shown to be effective in monitoring acetone in the breath of diabetics, but they did not relate the signal to blood sugar levels [34]. A different type of sensor array -a QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) was also used to monitor breath acetone and relate that to blood glucose, with some success demonstrating the potential of this approach [35] Of course, this all depends on future work determining the exact relationship between acetone and blood glucose for each individual, so calibration for each individual user will probably be necessary.…”

The ability to monitor blood glucose noninvasively has long been a goal of those with diabetes, due to the pain and inconvenience of current blood glucose monitoring devices. This article investigates the potential for monitoring compounds in breath and emitted through skin for inferring blood glucose concentration. Potential markers and an assessment of their suitability for noninvasive monitoring are discussed. The varying technologies developed for monitoring volatile organic compounds in breath and from the skin of diabetics and their suitability for development as a hand-held device is reviewed. The potential exists for the use of breath and skin monitoring as an alternative to blood glucose, but it may take years to collect sufficient clinical data for robust correlations to be possible.

“…[7]. References [8][9] aim to determine human blood glucose levels through analyzing the acetone present in exhaled breath as a noninvasive method with the help of an electronic nose system. Garcia-Cortes et al propose in [10] a method to detect the presence of cortisol and adrenaline in body's sweat by electronic noses with resistive sensors as a noninvasive method.…”
