Abstract
Diabetes, a disorder in the control of blood-glucose levels, is one of the most serious metabolic diseases worldwide. Among the investigated technologies for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) has received the most attention. There have been many attempts to develop NIR-based CGM systems with promising in-vitro results, but they lacked robustness for in-vivo use. We critically review the application of chemometrics for CGM and the research needed. Pre-processing and multivariate-calibration techniques, which allow exploiting expert knowledge on the potential interferences, are possible solutions. The combination and first overtone bands in the ranges 2050-2300nm and 1500-1800nm, respectively, are the most informative regions. We therefore recommended selecting the most informative variables and exploiting the available expert knowledge on known interferences in pre-processing or multivariate calibration to develop an NIR-based CGM sensor for in-vivo use.
