| dc.description.abstract | Over 14 million Americans suffer from diabetes mellitus. The long-term complications of this disease include retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. To help reduce these long term complicatons a tight control regimen including frequent self monitoring of blood glucose (SNMG) levels is required. Current SMBG techniques are invasive, painful, and prone to error. A novel multispectral, closed loop polarimetric system employing a robust, differencing technique is presented. The system was tested for sensitivity using glucose and water solution as well as doped bovine aqueous humor. The results of these experiments showed a standard deviation of 52.57 mg/dL and a correlation of 0.9636. | en |
