Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention are directed to an optical sensor for detecting blood glucose by deploying the optical sensor into the interstitial fluid. The sensor comprises a chemical indicator system capable of generating an optical signal related to the blood glucose activity. The sensor further comprises a means for generating and detecting an optical reference signal unrelated to the blood glucose activity, such that ratiometric correction of blood glucose measurements for artifacts in the optical system is enabled.
