Abstract
A continuous process for monitoring blood glucose level includes the steps of segregating a clear liquid component of blood from the protein and cells of the blood, wherein the clear liquid component includes the glucose to be monitored; continuously passing the clear liquid in a predetermined path between a light-emitting and a light-detecting device; detecting an optical property of the clear liquid component of the blood and employing the optical property to determine the glucose level in the blood. The invention also relates to the system for carrying out the continuous glucose monitoring process, and to a device for automatically controlling the pressure level in the system as a function of the breathing pattern of a patient in which the system is implanted.
