Sixteen volunteers each drank 700 ml sugar-containing soft drink during two successive periods and the blood sugar was measured at 10 min intervals together with electrical impedance spectroscopy and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR). A maximum correlation of 0.46 was found for the electrical measurements but no clear separation between low and high blood glucose levels were found in the NIR measurements. The latter was attributed to the experimental design where the NIR probe was removed from the skin between each measurement.

Although measures were taken to ensure placement of the probe on the same skin site each time, we cannot ignore the possibility that this lead to a higher variance between the measurements that is not related to the glucose level.</p><p>The highest correlation for the electrical admittance measurements was found for the suceptance at 455.5 kHz. At that frequency, the measurements will be dominated by deeper, viable tissue and the susceptance will mainly represent the dielectric charging of the cell membranes in the β dispersion range [<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_joeb-2019-0019_ref_013_w2aab3b7d258b1b6b1ab2b1c13Aa">13</a>].

Individually trained models obviously have the potential to be more closely adapted to each subject and with this design where the glucose level increases in two distinct periods, this should indeed be possible. However, the number of available measurements per subject is very limited in this study. In that sense, the globally trained models have the advantage of a significantly higher number of measurements, but the combined data sets will contain individual variations that may act as noise in the model. In general, a global model would be preferable since it reduces the need for individual calibration.</p></sec><sec id="j_joeb-2019-0019_s_005_w2aab3b7d258b1b6b1ab1b4Aa"><div>Conclusion</div><p>The possible prediction of blood glucose was tested using NIR and bioimpedance spectroscopy. Although a moderate correlation was found for some of the electrical parameters, it was not sufficient to produce a satisfactory prediction model. The quality of the NIR measurements was probably reduced due to the removal and reattachment of the NIR probe between each measurement.</p></sec></div>
