For More Information About Noninvasive Blood Glucose Monitors

Researchers are developing other methods of noninvasive monitoring. Potential ways to determine blood glucose levels include

• shining a beam of light onto the skin or through body tissues
  
  
• measuring the energy waves (infared radiation) emitted by the body
  
  
• applying radio waves to the fingertips
  
  
• using ultrasound
  
  
• checking the thickness (also called the viscosity) of fluids in tissue underneath the skin

To learn more about such monitors and new products after approval, call the FDA at 1–888–INFO–FDA (1–888–463–6332) or check the FDA website on diabetes at www.fda.gov/diabetes and click on the section titled "Glucose Meters & Diabetes Management."
