1. A method for determining glucose concentration in the blood of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
- sensing neurophysiological brain activity of the user during visual pigment regeneration in an eye of the user; and
correlating the sensed neurophysiological brain activity to the glucose concentration in the blood of the user.

12. A method for determining glucose concentration in the blood of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
bleaching retinal pigments in the eye of the user to cause the eye to undergo retinal pigment regeneration; presenting a visual perceptual task to the user during the retinal pigment regeneration; sensing neurophysiological brain activity of the user while presenting the visual perceptual task; and correlating the sensed neurophysiological brain activity to the glucose concentration in the blood of the user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A non-invasive blood glucose concentration sensing system, comprising:
-
a neurophysiological brain activity sensor configured to sense neurophysiological brain activity of a user and supply neurophysiological brain activity signals representative thereof; and a processor coupled to receive the neurophysiological brain activity signals and configured, upon receipt thereof, to correlate the sensed neurophysiological brain activity to blood glucose concentration of the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
