“…Several methods have been proposed in this regard, e.g. subcutaneous implantable biosensors (Poitpout et al, 1993;Wilkins et al, 1995;Rigby et al, 1995), microdialysis systems (de Boer et al, 1994;Hashiguchi et al, 1994), analysis of suction effusion fluid (Kayashima et al, 1995;Tamada et al, 1995), reverse iontopheresis (Rao et al, 1993), Mid-IR spectroscopy (Kajiwara et al, 1993;Ward et al, 1992), photo-acoustic spectroscopy (Quan et al, 1993;Spanner et al, 1996) and non-invasive optical polarimetric glucose sensing (Cote et al, 1992). Robinson et al, 1992, Marbach andHeise (Marbach et al, 1993;Marbach, 1993), as well as our group (Jagemann et al, 1995;Müller et al, 1997), demonstrated the potentials of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) as a feasible technique for non-invasive blood glucose detection.…”
