A study that looks into the potential of future wearables to non-invasively measure blood glucose has brought promising results.

Nature published the study, which involved the participation of 50 people with type 2 diabetes.

A Raman spectroscopy device was used to non-invasively monitor their blood glucose over a two day period.

This uses a near-infrared light of 830nm wavelength, positioned over the person’s thumb. An analysis of the reflected light is then performed to glean information over, in this case, 50 seconds of data recording for each “hand placement” in each session.

The recorded results were then compared with those of...
