Abstract

This study presents a non-invasive system for monitoring glucose levels by detecting acetone gas in exhaled breath. By eliminating the need for traditional blood-based testing, this approach provides a more comfortable and accessible solution for diabetes management. The system incorporates highly sensitive gas sensors to measure acetone concentration, which serves as a biomarker for glucose levels. An embedded microcontroller processes the sensor data, converting it into meaningful information and controlling system operations. Real-time results are displayed on an intuitive LCD screen, ensuring easy interpretation. Additionally, Bluetooth (HC-05) connectivity enables seamless data transmission to a mobile application, allowing users to monitor their glucose trends conveniently. To validate the system’s effectiveness, graphical representations illustrate the relationship between acetone concentration and estimated glucose levels, highlighting the system’s accuracy. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the device ensures portability and efficiency. With its high sensitivity and reliability, this technology offers a promising alternative for continuous glucose monitoring, enhancing both convenience and precision in diabetes care.
