Abstract
Different from the traditional measurement approach and instruments of
blood glucose concentration, we propose a novel measuring method related
to electrical impedance spectrum without invasion, and we have researched
the correspondence between blood glucose values and impedance parameters.
Considering the skin contacting impedance and cytomembrane conductivity
feature, an equivalent circuit of human model was built in the MATLAB Simulink
environment. We obtained the impedance parameters of the model at 1 Hz–20
MHz by simulation. The measured data were analyzed by a Cole–Cole model
to derive the relationship between the impedance value and the blood glucose
concentration. The results show that the electrical impedance is strong
negative correlation to blood glucose concentration, as the blood glucose
concentration increases, the impedance value decreases. The conclusion
of this research provides a theoretical basis for non-invasive blood glucose
surface-measuring.
