The commonly used method to measure blood glucose level is usually high in accuracy
but it is painful, higher risk of infections and some people scared to undergoes the
blood glucose test for the first time. Therefore, this project proposed a painless
solution using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) method by finding relation between the
GSR and glucose level. GSR measures the conductivity of one’s skin. The GSR sensor
was embedded with probe to put the users finger and the sensor measure the
conductivity that equivalent to the usual glucose level. The monitoring system is
functioned to alert and give information according to the users glucose level using
Arduino as a microcontroller. The result shows that there is a relation between the
skin response and blood glucose level as the GSR sensor shows the increment of
output value before eating and after eating. Reading for normal person the range
reading is 70mV – 119mV. This system can help to increase the awareness about
sugar intake and low in cost as well.
