Abstract

A noninvasive blood glucose meter for testing a blood glucose level of a living organism includes a casing, a printed circuit board and a display device. The casing includes a containing space, and the printed circuit board is installed in the containing space and includes a control unit and a memory unit, and the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to a light emitting device and a light receiving device, and the light emitting device is capable of emitting a light beam, and the light receiving device is provided for receiving a reflected light beam. After the light beam emitted from the light emitting device is entered into the testing living organism, reflected from the testing living organism, and received by the light receiving device, the light beam is passed through and processed by the control unit, and then displayed on a display device and stored in the memory unit.

Claims
