Blood glucose measurement device and blood glucose measurement system using same

Abstract

The present invention relates to: a blood glucose measurement device, which is a non-invasive blood glucose measurement device that measures blood glucose using sweat rather than blood, and is equipped with a sweat inducing means that does not require a drug during a sweat inducing process; and a blood glucose measurement system using same. The present invention provides a blood glucose measurement device and a blood glucose measurement system using same, wherein the blood glucose measurement device comprises: a sweat inducing unit having two electrodes which are disposed to be spaced apart from each other and to which opposite polarities are applied; a housing for fixing the sweat inducing unit such that the two electrodes are exposed on one surface thereof; and a blood glucose sensor which is inserted into the housing and comes into contact with bodily fluid produced by the sweat inducing unit. Thus, the blood glucose measurement device does not cause problems, such as pain, infection, and scarring, that can be caused by needles, and does not use drugs that can affect the normal sweat secretion activity structure of the skin, and thus does not have any aftereffects for the skin. Even if the amount of sweat secreted is small, the sweat is efficiently collected so that all of the collected sweat can be used for blood glucose measurement, making highly accurate blood glucose measurements possible. The present invention therefore has the effect in which frequent blood glucose monitoring, which is important for diabetic patients, can be performed without any aftereffects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a blood glucose measuring instrument and a blood glucose measuring system using the same, in particular to a non-invasive blood glucose measuring instrument which measures blood glucose through sweat instead of blood and a blood glucose measuring system using the same. The blood glucose meter is provided with a sweat induction device that does not require drugs during the sweat induction process. Background technique [0002] Diabetes is an ancient disease and its presence is recognized even in ancient Egyptian records, but the history of blood glucose meters that enable patients to measure their own blood sugar began in 1965 with the first blood glucose testing test strips (dextrosticx) enter the market. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, the blood glucose measuring instrument generally uses a needle to puncture a wound on the skin to collect blood, and then uses the collected blood to measure the blood glucose in t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, among the blood glucose meters that have been developed so far, the invasive blood glucose meter has problems such as pain, infection, and scarring, while the non-invasive blood glucose meter may cause drug resistance in the skin and abnormal sweating due to injection of drugs , so it is difficult to measure blood sugar frequently
