First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for noninvasively determining blood glucose in a subject, comprising:
- setting an initial temperature for a blood glucose index probe, wherein the blood glucose index is a period for a defined temperature rise or temperature rise for a defined period;
in body cavity(s) measuring;
the blood glucose index with the initialized blood glucose index probe; 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 in a subject 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; a heater and/or cooler for bringing the blood glucose index probe to an initial temperature, 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, wherein the blood glucose index is a period for a defined temperature rise or temperature rise for a defined period. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
