Abstract :
In this paper a new approach for non-invasive glucose measurements is proposed. The new technique is based on Dielectric Spectroscopy and uses a potentiostat sensor to detect the glucose levels. As an excitation signal, random phase multisines are used. These allow scanning the level of glucose over a wide frequency range. First tests on human albumin clearly show that the phase measurements can detect differences between different glucose concentrations. These results form a very promising basis for the development of a novel non-invasive glucose monitoring sensor.
