Non invasive glucose monitoring

I am Prakash Murali....2nd year Computer Science.
Here is some data I found on the net.
- Existing Non-invasive and/or Continuous Meters-http://www.mendosa.com/meters.htm
The GlucoWatch Biographer-http://www.mendosa.com/glucowatch.htm
- Dexcom glucose monitoring systems http://www.dexcom.com/html/dexcom_products.html
- Iontophoresis - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iontophoresis
There are many models of glucose watches that rely on reverse iontophoresis technique for glucose estimation.
The company says that in the U.S. the price of the starter kit, which includes the GlucoWatch Biographer, instructional video, user guide, battery charger and two rechargeable batteries, as well as other accessories, is $698. AutoSensors are sold in cartons of 16 and sell for $120, which works out to $7.50 each. They are good for 13 hours each. Also available at $60.00 is the GlucoWatch Analyzer, which is a program that downloads into a personal computer and is designed to display and store data retrieved by the individual's GlucoWatch.
