Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices Market Witnesses Upward Trend Due to High Prevalence of Diabetes
Diabetes
is one of the most common lifelong chronic diseases in human beings. according to the study, “Global and regional
diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045:
Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th
edition”, published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, in
September 2019, 463 million people are expected to suffer from diabetes in 2019
worldwide and the number is expected to reach 578 million by 2030 and 700
million by 2045. Such high prevalence of diabetes is expected to aid in growth
of the non-invasive
blood glucose monitoring devices market.
Monitoring
blood glucose concentration aids in proper management of diabetes. There are
two ways of monitoring: invasive and non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. Several
research groups have been working feverishly to develop medically useful
wearable monitors for non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring, yet, to date,
there are very few scientifically proven non-invasive glucose monitor products
on the
non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices market.
Among
the various types of non-invasive blood glucose monitoring systems currently
available in the non-invasive blood glucose monitoring
devices market, near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS), polarized
optical rotation, and Raman spectroscopy are the most widely used. In addition to low cost, these inexpensive products
provide high accuracy and reliability. Several studies have confirmed that the
calibrated results obtained with near-infrared spectroscopy are nearly
identical to those obtained with the fingertip method.
Another
type of glucose monitor in the non-invasive blood glucose
monitoring devices market uses light
waves to produce quantitative measurement results. This type of system based on
infrared spectroscopy allows for automated, real-time measurements. A tabletop
device called a spectrometer can be used for this purpose. The handheld
spectrometer is capable of producing quantitative measurements in a matter of
minutes. The infrared light utilized passes through a lens mounted
spectrometer. The resulting measurement is converted to a digital value and
stored either on computer software or on a flash drive.
Ultrasound
technology has also become increasingly popular in the non-invasive
blood glucose monitoring devices market.
This method involves the use of sound waves to produce different types of
readings, which are then converted to numbers. Sound waves can be used to
measure peak glucose concentrations. Other measures such as insulin levels,
total cholesterol and blood pressure can also be determined by ultrasound. The
ultrasound technique has proven to be particularly effective in patients with
Type I and Type II diabetes.
