[Glucose determination by means of NMR spectrometry]

NMR spectroscopy could be a method for non-invasive determination of glucose concentration in the future. In this connection, 13C-NMR spectroscopy is of special interest. In vitro investigation of blood serum samples in 13C-NMR revealed significant changes in signal intensities reflecting the different glucose concentrations in these samples. The further development of noninvasive in vivo glucose determination by means of NMR spectroscopy is closely associated with technological progress.
