Abstract :
Urine glucose level monitoring technique using near infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with the chemometric method was newly developed aiming for the use of home health care. The calibration models were obtained by the partial least square method and their validity were assessed using albumin added glucose solution and urine samples. From the results obtained, it was clearly demonstrated that the present method had a capability of predicting urine glucose level with reasonable accuracy (standard error of prediction; 22.3 mg/dl, correlation coefficient; 0.99) and appeared to be a useful means for long-term home health care
