Abstract
The assessment of accurate glucose level is an important aspect in the field of clinical diagnostics. With ever-improving advances in diagnostic technology, we find that new techniques and approaches have been demonstrated for monitoring blood glucose. Addressing to this matter, the objective of this chapter is to introduce a new optical concept for measuring glucose concentration in blood plasma that involves the development of a new miniaturized technique using Poiseuille’s equation of viscous flow and light propagation through the optical waveguide. Potentially, this technique can be very useful in the management of diabetes in the near future. The advantage of this approach, with respect to other optical methods, is safe and capable of providing accurate result in terms of enhanced sensitivity. The sensor developed requires very minimal sample for its detection.
