ABSTRACT:
There are many inventions described and illustrated herein. In one aspect, the present invention is a system and technique for non-invasively measuring, monitoring, inspecting, characterizing, determining and/or evaluating the blood glucose level in the aqueous humor of the eye of a patient (for example, a diabetic). In one embodiment, the present invention employs a plurality of wavelengths of light (for example, more than three) to measure, monitor, characterize, determine and/or evaluate the blood glucose level or concentration of a patient. The plurality of wavelengths of light may be directed into the aqueous humor of the eye and the reflected light (i.e., the light reflected by the eye) is detected and analyzed to provide information which is representative of the blood glucose level or concentration of the patient.
