  • Methods and apparatus for non-invasive glucose sensing: non-invasive probe
    Patent number: 6219565
    Abstract: Disclosed is a probe 2 suitable for use in the non-invasive sensing of glucose concentrations in the body of a patient. The probe 2 includes at least three radiation receiving fibers 16 extending between a probe body 12 and a spectrograph 8, and spaced apart from each other in a substantially uniform manner and aligned in a predetermined fixed pattern at the probe body 12. A radiation transmitting means 10 conducts radiation from a radiation source 4 and extends from the radiation source 4 to the probe body 12. The radiation transmitting means 10 is formed in the probe 2 into ring means for conducting radiation in a ring-shaped area immediately surrounding each of said receiving fibers 16. The radiation transmitting means 10 and the receiving fibers 16 terminate at the probe body 12 in a unitary structure having an outer surface configured for contacting the skin of a patient.
