Disclosed is a probe,suitable for use in the non-invasive sensing of glucose concentrations in the body of a patient. The probe,includes at least three radiation receiving fibers,extending between a probe body,and a spectrograph,, and spaced apart from each other in a substantially uniform manner and aligned in a predetermined fixed pattern at the probe body,. A radiation transmitting means,conducts radiation from a radiation source,and extends from the radiation source,to the probe body,. The radiation transmitting means,is formed in the probe,into ring means for conducting radiation in a ring-shaped area immediately surrounding each of said receiving fibers,. The radiation transmitting means,and the receiving fibers,terminate at the probe body,in a unitary structure having an outer surface configured for contacting the skin of a patient. The ring means passes radiation from the radiation source,into the patient in the areas immediately surrounding each receiving fiber,. The receiving fibers,detect the radiation passing back out of the patient and pass this detected radiation to the spectrograph
