PROGRESS 3: CURRENT TREND

Wednesday, February 1, 2012


It is found out that most of the measurements for blood glucose concentration tests are done manually by using the invasive method like blood drop and test. So, another approach with non-invasive method is developed to measure blood glucose concentration by just testing on urine using a colour sensor.

There is a wide range of urine reagent strip tests available in the markets with many types of parameters can be tested. Range of parameters that is available in the markets nowadays can be from 1 to 11 parameters. These parameters are glucose, ascorbic acid, ketones, protein, pH-value, blood, nitrite, leukocytes, specific gravity, bilirubin and urobilinogen. The colour changes of the urine reagent strip after test can be seen by naked. Unfortunately, we cannot get the accurate reading just by looking at the colour changes of urine strip test. The level of diabetes cannot be obtained accurately.
