The standard determination of the blood glucose level involves finger-prick capillary measurements, which is uncomfortable and causes skin injury. Painless glycemic control would improve the quality of life of patients by increasing compliance. This thesis describes the technologies of bioimpedance and absorption spectroscopy applied to determine glucose characteristics in deionized water and blood. In sequence simulations helped to develop methods for transcutaneous glycemic measurements, which were processed through PLS and neural networks algorithms. In addition temperature readings were used as input in the neural networks, allowing the improvement of the correlation.
