ABSTRACT:

Diabetes mellitus often referred as the metabolic disorder characterized by lack of insulin or existence of patho-physiological factors that resists the insulin action. Currently proper therapeutic cure for diabetes is not available. Supervision of increased blood glucose level without lowering below the normal physiological range is the ultimate goal of therapeutic protocols for managing diabetes mellitus. For achieving rational control over elevated blood glucose levels, frequent monitoring with invasive blood glucose monitoring techniques is mandatory for diabetic patients. Developing noninvasive glucose biosensors approaches will be pain free including reduction in complexities related to invasive techniques. This research article explains the principle methodologies of several developing noninvasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Biosensors for Diabetic population. The study reveals that these noninvasive glucose biosensors has a prospective future but numerous factors and obstacles are needed to be considered relating to signal acquisitions, accuracy and precision of the devices, design aspects, data management, risk benefit ratios, cost of the device, etc. In future, the noninvasive glucometer with user-friendly aspects, lower risk factors will be more popular as compared to present day invasive glucometers. Successful noninvasive glucose biosensors will be the primary diagnostic tool for diabetes management protocols in near future. All these new noninvasive technologies had increased expectations for better management of diabetes in near future.
