Estudio de la correlación entre los niveles de glucosa en sangre y sudor por espectrofotometría UV-VIS

Abstract

Abstract:The present investigation has the purpose of offering information on the existing correlation of glucose levels in sweat by means of visible spectroscopy and in blood by means of the glucometer. The basis of Visible and Ultraviolet spectroscopy is to measure the intensity of the color (or of the radiation absorbed in UV) at a specific wavelength. Based on this information, the study of light reflection was carried out according to the color intensity of each sample. As results, the glucose levels curves of test organisms were obtained and the behavior of the graph was analyzed according to the points of light emitted by each sample impregnated with sweat, comparing it with blood levels. After this analysis, a minimum error of 1.8% was reached, concluding that it is feasible to measure in sweat as long as good precision is maintained. And So to be able to contribute to the Ecuadorian population with an alternative to measure glucose levels indirectly, helping to improve the quality of life of people with impaired glucose.
