Abstract

A device and methods are described for the determination of blood sugar content comprising a measuring part (1) and a sensor part (2). The electric contact surfaces (21, 22) of the sensor part are contactable with either side of a piece of living human tissue having a high capillary blood flow rate for non-invasive determination of the blood sugar content.

Description

lO 15 20 25 30 35 512 047 2 diabetikern vid varje tillfälle han eller hon så önskar kan kontrollera sitt blodsockervärde och agera därefter. The diabetic at any time he or she so wishes can check his or her blood sugar level and act accordingly.

Ytterligare ett ändamål med uppfinningen är att tillhandahålla ett förfarande för evasiv mätning av en biofysikalisk parameter, särskilt blodsockerhalten.A further object of the invention is to provide a method for evasive measurement of a biophysical parameter, in particular the blood sugar content.

Dessa ändamål uppnås medelst en mätanordning av det slag, som anges i ingressen till patentkravet 1, och som uppvisar de kännetecken, som framgår av den kännetecknan- de delen av patentkravet l, respektive ett förfarande för evasiv mätning av en biofysikalisk parameter i enlighet med patentkraven 2 och 3.These objects are achieved by means of a measuring device of the type stated in the preamble of claim 1, which has the features which appear from the characterizing part of claim 1, respectively a method for evasive measurement of a biophysical parameter in accordance with the claims. 2 and 3.

Blodets ledningsmotstånd i ett visst vävnadsparti, exempelvis fingertoppen, varierar i förhållande till glukoskoncentrationen i blodet, som genomströmmar väv- nadspartiet. Denna variation kan registreras, förstärkas och avläsas evasivt, utan direkt tillgång till blod, i en mätanordning bestående av en mätdel och en därmed elekt- riskt förbunden sensordel. Avläsningen sker spontant me- delst sensordelen och kan ske i de flesta vardagliga situationer. Diabetikern får på detta sätt möjlighet att kontinuerligt registrera sitt aktuella blodsockervärde.The conduction resistance of the blood in a certain part of the tissue, for example the fingertip, varies in relation to the concentration of glucose in the blood, which flows through the part of the tissue. This variation can be registered, amplified and read evasively, without direct access to blood, in a measuring device consisting of a measuring part and an electrically connected sensor part. The reading takes place spontaneously by means of the sensor part and can take place in most everyday situations. In this way, the diabetic is given the opportunity to continuously register his current blood sugar value.

Med denna kunskap kan diabetikern anpassa sin diabetes- terapi för att minimera svängningarna i blodsockervärdet.With this knowledge, the diabetic can adapt his diabetes therapy to minimize fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Särskilt för s k IDDM-patienter (Insulin-Dependent-Dia- betes-Mellitus) har detta stor betydelse för samspelet mellan kost och insulintillförsel.Especially for so-called IDDM patients (Insulin-Dependent-Diabetes-Mellitus), this is of great importance for the interaction between diet and insulin supply.

Den till grund för uppfinningen liggande insikten består således i att i en mänsklig vävnad med hög kapil- lärblodgenomströmning, t ex en fingertopp, tå, öronsnibb, etc, glukoshalten i blodet förändrar motståndet av en konstant elektrisk ström. Med andra ord varierar spän- ningen över två fasta poler, eller omvänt strömstyrkan vid en given konstant spänning mellan två fasta poler, med koncentrationen av blodsockret i det genomströmmande blodet.The insight underlying the invention thus consists in that in a human tissue with high capillary blood flow, eg a fingertip, toe, earlobe, etc., the glucose content in the blood changes the resistance of a constant electric current. In other words, the voltage across two fixed poles, or vice versa, at a given constant voltage between two fixed poles, varies with the concentration of blood sugar in the flowing blood.

Vidare kan denna variation bestämmas integrerat med ett kalibreringsförfarande över två eller flera inpro- 10 15 20 25 30 35 512 047 3 grammerbara blodglukosvärden, som bestäms medelst konventionella mätmetoder.Furthermore, this variation can be determined integrally with a calibration method over two or more programmable blood glucose values, which are determined by conventional measurement methods.

Mätmetoden enligt uppfinningen utgår ifrån att kapillärblodet till sin molekylära sammansättning är konstant i alla andra avseenden än vad avser glukos- mängden, uttryckt mmol/l.The measurement method according to the invention is based on the fact that the capillary blood in its molecular composition is constant in all respects other than the amount of glucose, expressed in mmol / l.

Uppfinningen kommer nedan att ytterligare beskrivas med hänvisning till bifogade ritning, på vilken fig 1 är en schematisk vy av en mätanordning enligt uppfinningen, som visar en mätdel och en därmed förbunden sensordel, och fig 2 är en schematisk vy av den i anordningen enligt fig 1 ingående mätdelen.The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a measuring device according to the invention, showing a measuring part and a sensor part connected thereto, and Fig. 2 is a schematic view of that in the device according to Fig. 1. constituent measuring part.

Den i fig 1 visade mätdelen 1 innefattar, såsom framgår av fig 2, strömförsörjningsorgan 11, en elektrisk krets 12, organ 15 dels för inmatning och avläsning av information ett minnesmedium 13, en mikrodator 14, samt i minnesmediet 13, dels för avläsning av mätdata. Mät- delen 1 är elektriskt förbunden med sensordelen 2, vilken omfattar motstående på avstånd från varandra placerade elektriska kontaktytor 21, 22. (polerna) genereras en elektrisk ström, exempelvis av Mellan kontaktytorna storleksordningen 10 mA, vars genomströmningsmotstànd är direkt proportionellt mot glukoshalten i det blod, som genomströmmar den mänskliga vävnaden, exempelvis en fingertopp (inte visad) som är införd i sensordelen så att kontaktytorna 21, 22 ligger an mot denna på ömse sidor därav. Med andra ord föreligger ett linjärt förhål- lande mellan genomströmningsmotstàndet och glukosvärdet i blodet. Därvid gäller formeln: vg=KixRxL där Vs Ki R = genomströmningsmotståndet glukosvärdet i mmol/l individens kalibreringskoefficient I = strömstyrkan. 10 15 20 25 30 512 047 4 Kalibreringskoefficienten för individen erhålles i mätanordningen genom minst två pà varandra följande mätningar vid kända glukosvärden för individen. Dessa inmatas som referensvärden i mätanordningen vid kalibre- ringens respektive mättillfällen. Glukosvärdena bör vid kalibreringen ha en minsta differens av 10 mmol/1.The measuring part 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises, as can be seen from Fig. 2, power supply means 11, an electrical circuit 12, means 15 for input and reading of information a memory medium 13, a microcomputer 14, and in the memory medium 13, partly for reading measurement data . The measuring part 1 is electrically connected to the sensor part 2, which comprises opposite spaced apart electrical contact surfaces 21, 22. (the poles) an electric current is generated, for example of Between the contact surfaces of the order of 10 mA, the flow resistance is directly proportional to the glucose content in the blood flowing through the human tissue, for example a fingertip (not shown) inserted into the sensor part so that the contact surfaces 21, 22 abut thereon on either side thereof. In other words, there is a linear relationship between the flow resistance and the glucose value in the blood. The formula then applies: vg = KixRxL where Vs Ki R = the flow resistance glucose value in mmol / l the individual's calibration coefficient I = the current. 10 15 20 25 30 512 047 4 The calibration coefficient for the individual is obtained in the measuring device by at least two consecutive measurements at known glucose values for the individual. These are entered as reference values in the measuring device at the respective measuring times of the calibration. During calibration, the glucose values should have a minimum difference of 10 mmol / l.

Dessa värden, fràn en glukosbestämning av kapillär- blodet i en kemisk blodsockermätare, inprogrammeras i minnesmediet 13. Spänningsfallet över den bestämda väv- nadsmassan (fingertoppen) är linjärt proportionellt mot blodsockerhalten i det kapillärt genomströmmande blodet inom ett särskilt mätomràde, exempelvis 2-17 mmol/1. Det aktuella mätvärdet anges exempelvis med en decimal och uttrycks exempelvis mmol/1. De elektriska kontaktytorna 21, 22 befinner sig pá ett fast avstànd fràn varandra och detta avstånd bestäms av den individ, som skall använda mätanordningen. Som ett icke begränsande exempel pà en föredragen utföringsform av en mätanordning enligt upp- finningen anges nedan en teknisk specifikation: Mätomràde: blodglukos 2-17 mmol/1 Noggrannhet: 0,1 i 0,05 mmol/1 Mättid: l-2 Sek Kalibrersingsdifferens: minst 10 mmol/1 Kalibreringsvärden: två eller flera.These values, from a glucose determination of the capillary blood in a chemical blood glucose meter, are programmed into the memory medium 13. The voltage drop across the determined tissue mass (fingertip) is linearly proportional to the blood sugar level in the capillary flowing blood within a special measuring range, e.g. / 1. The current measured value is stated, for example, with a decimal and is expressed, for example, mmol / 1. The electrical contact surfaces 21, 22 are at a fixed distance from each other and this distance is determined by the individual who is to use the measuring device. As a non-limiting example of a preferred embodiment of a measuring device according to the invention, a technical specification is given below: Measuring range: blood glucose 2-17 mmol / l Accuracy: 0.1 in 0.05 mmol / l Measuring time: 1-2 Sec Calibration difference : at least 10 mmol / l Calibration values: two or more.
