First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for noninvasively determining blood glucose in a subject, comprising:
- in body cavity(s) measuring;
a blood glucose index that is a period for a defined temperature rise or temperature rise for a defined period; and
a local humidity;
measuring an environmental temperature;
measuring an environmental humidity; and
deducing from the measured values and calibration data including chemically measured blood glucose the current blood glucose value.

18. An apparatus for measuring the blood glucose index comprising:
-
a controller; connected to the controller, a blood glucose index probe; connected to the controller, local humidity probe; connected to the controller, an environmental temperature probe; and connected to the controller, an environmental humidity probe, wherein the controller is programmed to deduce from values obtained from the probes and calibration data including chemically measured blood glucose the current blood glucose value, and wherein the controller can be connected to a probe local temperature and/or a probe for heart rate and/or a probe for blood oxygen saturation, and can use the values obtained from one or more of these probes to deduce the current blood glucose value.
