Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) stated in 2004, about 347 million people suffered from diabetes and from this statistic, about 3.4 million died from the complication of kidney failure, heart attack, body part amputation and adequately reported suffered from blindness. Maintaining the glucose level in blood is important to human body, as the sugar play an immense part in human daily lives. However, the excessive glucose in blood can contribute to diabetic. But, there are detection approach of diabetic is refuse to the blood examination, due to terrifying of needles and blood. Therefore, the non-invasive blood glucose measurement is one of the optional solutions to encourage the blood examination among the potential patients. There are several techniques in measuring the blood glucose level - non-invasive technique, ultrasonic sensor implementation, multisensory systems, absorbance of transmittance, bio-impedance, voltage intensity, and thermography. Among these techniques, there are several approaches that displayed a lot of potential; nonetheless some of them have produced unsatisfying results. However, The NIR technique has been applied to obtain perfect peak of glucose in blood. Advances in nano material are introduces new arena of biosensor to have the accurate glucose reading. This paper emphasizes the experimental data collection using FTIR Spectroscopy Technique which has Significant wavelength range that contains suitable information regarding the indicator of glucose in blood of the substances in human skin.
