Abstract
There is described a device for the non-invasive measurement of one or more analytes in blood in a patient's body part which comprises a light transmitter comprising a plurality of transmitting fibres positioned to transmit light to the body part and a light detector comprising a plurality of light detector fibres position to detect light transmitted through or reflected from the body part. The device especially utilises the non-pulsatile element of a patient's blood. There is also described a method of measuring blood glucose levels and a device programmed so as to calculate one or more of the haemoglobin index, the oxygen index and the blood oxygen saturation.
