Abstract
Impedance spectroscopy has been proposed as possible approach for non-invasive glycaemia monitoring. However, few quantitative data are reported about impedance variations related to glucose concentration variations, especially below the MHz band. Furthermore, it is not clear whether glucose directly affects the impedance parameters or only indirectly by inducing biochemical phenomena. We investigated the impedance variations in glucose-water and glucose-blood samples, for increasing glucose values (up to 300 mg/dl). In all the frequency range (0.1–107 Hz) glucose-water samples showed huge impedance modulus increases for increasing glucose values (up to 135%). In blood the impedance modulus showed only slight variations (2%), but again in a wide frequency range. Therefore: i) glucose directly affects the impedance parameters of solutions; ii) the influence on the impedance seems to decrease in high conductivity solutions, but it is still clearly present.
