1. A method for non-invasive determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a mammal, comprising the steps of:
- (a) concurrently irradiating a portion of the body of the mammal with incident radiation, said incident radiation including two or more distinct bands of continuous-wavelength incident radiation;
(b) sensing the resulting radiation emitted from said portion of the body; and
(c) deriving from the sensed resulting radiation a value for the concentration of said analyte.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for non-invasive determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a mammal. A portion of the body of the mammal is irradiated with incident radiation, where the incident radiation includes two or more distinct bands of continuous-wavelength incident radiation. The resulting radiation emitted from the portion of the body is sensed and a value for the concentration of the analyte is derived therefrom.
