摘要：Disclosed is a probe (2) suitable for use in the non-invasive sensing of glucoseconcentrations in the body of a patient. The probe (2) includes at least three radiationreceiving fibers (16) extending between a probe body (12) and a spectrograph (8), andspaced apart from each other in a substantially uniform manner and aligned in a

predetermined fixed pattern at the probe body (12). A radiation transmitting means (10)conducts radiation from a radiation source (4) and extends from the radiation source (4)to the probe body (12). The radiation transmitting means (10) is formed in the probe (2)into a ring to conduct radiation in a ring shaped area immediately surrounding each of thereceiving fibers (16). The radiation transmitting means (10) and the receiving fibers (16)terminate at the probe body (12) in a unitary structure having an outer surface configuredfor contacting the skin of a patient. The ring passes radiation from the radiation source(4) into the patient in the areas immediately surrounding each receiving fiber (16). Thereceiving fibers (16) detect the radiation passing back out of the patient and pass thisdetected radiation to the spectrograph (8).
