Abstract: This paper describes the method of measurement of glucose concentration in the human blood non- invasively using
the near infrared optical technique.Inrecent medical practice, the concentration of glucose in blood is measured using an
invasive techniques which generally involves puncturing finger. In generic few ml of blood whereas in recent practice less than
a drop of blood is taken out and passed through the standard chemicaltests to measure glucose concentration. These methods
are expensive as well as painful. The frequent finger puncturing causes calluses on the skin and also increases the risk of
spreading infectious diseases. So, the development of a non-invasive blood glucose measurement system will be boon to
the diabetic patients. This paper describes the method of blood sugar measurement in the human blood non-invasively using the
painless near infrared based optical technique. The designed system consists of LED emitting signals of 940 nm wavelength.
These optical signals are sent through the fingertip and reflected signals are detected by phototransistor placed beside the LED.
The glucose concentration in the blood is determined by analyzing the
variation in the intensity of received signal obtained after reflection. The results obtained from the designed system shows the
feasibility of using NIR based non-invasive method for the measurement of blood glucose. The described system is majorly
useful for diabetic patients. The measurement accuracy of the proposed system can be improved by incorporating it with noise
filtering techniques.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is an upgraded

from being a 'toy computer' to a real desktop PC
requirement. The big upgrade is a move from the
BCM2836 (single core ARMv6) to BCM2837 (quad
core ARMv7). The Processor speed increases 2 times Fig.3 ATMEGA328p

spacecraft, radar sets and navigational beacons. The
term transmitter is usually limited to
equipment that generates radio waves for
communication purposes; or radiolocation, such as radar
and navigational transmitters. Generators of radio waves
for heating or industrial purposes, such as microwave
ovens or diathermy equipment, are not usually called
transmitters, even though they often have similar
circuits.

The high-performance Microchip pico Power 8- bit An audio/video receiver (AVR) is consumer
AVR RISC-based microcontroller combines 32KB ISP electronics component used in a home theater. Its
flash memory with read-while-write capabilities, 1024B purpose is to receive audio and video signals from a
EEPROM, 2KB SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 number of sources, and to process them and provide
general purpose working registers, three flexible power amplifiers to drive loudspeakers and route the
timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external video to displays such as a television, monitor or video
interrupts, serial programmable USART, a byte-oriented projector. Inputs may come from a satellite receiver,
2- wire serial interface, SPI serial port, a 6-channel 10- radio, DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, VCRs or
bit A/D converter (8-channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF video game
packages), programmable watchdog timer with internal
oscillator, and five software selectable power saving
modes. The device operates between 1.8-5.5 volts. By
executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle,
the device achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per
MHz, balancing power consumption and processing
speed.

suffers from human environmental factors such as

motion which makes it difficult to be used due to the
optical path of the excitation light. The most common
