Glucose Monitor and Method of Use Thereof

Abstract

An apparatus for monitoring glucose comprising a processor, an indicating mechanism and sensors that are disposed proximate the skin of a person when the skin is in contact with a motor vehicle operational component such as the steering wheel. The apparatus for monitoring glucose measures the driver's glucose concentration via optical coherence tomography or other non-invasive technique, analyzes the driver's glucose concentration via the processor and displays the driver's glucose concentration via the indicator, or alternately sends an alarm signal. The method for monitoring glucose further comprises programming the processor with a range of glucose concentrations, comparing the driver's glucose concentration with the range and signaling an alert if the driver's glucose concentration is outside the range.
