Abstract
This invention involves a non-invasive glucose measurement device for determining blood glucose levels in the human body using infrared spectroscopy. The device is typically used on a fingertip and compares two specific regions of a measured infrared spectrum to determine the blood glucose level of the user. The invention further provides a cleaning kit for cleaning the skin exterior prior to taking a glucose measurement. The kit typically includes a glucose solvent and a solvent for removing the glucose solvent. The solvents have IR spectra, which have no peaks between about 8.25 micrometers and about 8.75 micrometers and between about 9.50 micrometers and about 10.00 micrometers. The solvents may be provided on absorbent wipes, and the wipes or their packaging may have features that prevent more than a single use. Similarly, the wipes or their packaging may have special features requiring their presence in order to activate the device.
