This invention is a noninvasive glucose moni- toring apparatus and method that does not rely upon heat, electricity or chemicals to collect glucose from interstitial fluid across the patient's skin. Moreover, the method and apparatus monitor blood glucose in real time, i.e., in a time period short enough to enable a diabetic to take appropriate action to correct blood glucose levels. A collection device (10) comprising a reservoir (12) containing a glucose collection medium such as water is placed against the stratum corneum of the patient's skin for a predetermined period of time. At least a portion of the glucose collection medium is removed from the reservoir at the end of the predeter- mined time and analyzed for glucose concentration.

Instrument non invasif de contrôle du glucose sanguin et procédé d'utilisation associé ne faisant appel ni à la chaleur, ni à l'électricité, ni à des produits chimiques pour recueillir le glucose de liquides interstitiels à travers la peau du patient. De plus, ledit procédé et ledit glucomètre assurent des contrôles en temps réel, c'est-à-dire dans un laps de temps suffisamment court pour permettre à un patient diabétique de prendre les mesures propres à corriger son taux de glucose sanguin. Le dispositif de recueil (10) comporte un réservoir (12) rempli d'un milieu de recueil du glucose tel que de l'eau qui s'applique pendant un temps prédéterminé sur la couche cornéenne de la peau du patient après quoi, on prélève au moins une partie du milieu de recueil afin d'analyser sa concentration en glucose.
