Abstract –. Using new nondestructive method dielectric properties of glucose solutions, blood imitators, blood and skin in the millimeter-wave range were investigated.

 

 

                  I. Introduction

 

                The objective of this paper is to investigate the dielectric properties of e  for glucose solutions in water,  an imitator of blood, for blood, and for skin, as well as to investigate the possibility of using millimeter waves for sugar (glucose) control in human blood, including non-invasive control.

 

II. Main part

 

A new method (without measurement phase of the reflection coefficient)  for the non-destructive determination  of complex permittivity  for lossy substances is elaborated and realized.

Dielectric properties of glucose solutions with concentration W from 5 to 0.25% wt. are measured in the frequency range 30–93 GHz and at 10 GHz.

Dielectric properties of human blood (using one drop) are investigated in vivo at frequencies of 42 and 66 GHz. The measurements have shown that this method can be used for the real-time determination of the glucose content in blood after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) without special strips used in optical invasive glucometer..

Dielectric properties of skin in the frequency range from 30 to 80 GHz are determined. It is shown that it is possible, in principle, to create a non- invasive device for the glucose content in blood determination, at least after OGTT.

               

III. Conclusion

 

               Investigations of dielectric properties of glucose solutions, blood imitators, blood, and skin in the millimeter-wave range are of interest not only for understanding interaction of millimeter waves with these substances but also for nondestructive monitoring of glucose solutions and noninvasive control of glucose concentration in blood.
