Design of a portable urine glucose monitoring system for health care.

This paper describes the design of a monitoring system that can be used to measure urine glucose during daily life. It consists of a bio-chemical sensor, hardware with PIC microcontroller and control circuits, and signal analyzing part. To evaluate the performance, we compared the analyzed glucose levels of the developed system to a standard instrument, YSI glucose analyzer, based on regression analysis using standard glucose solutions mixed with urine. Also, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were computed. In conclusion, the developed system showed it could be used for the measurement of urine glucose.
