How it works?
The PGTM straps onto upper arm, with the measuring head in direct contact with the skin.
PGTM sends near infrared light which enter and and bounce back out of dermis at a certain angle. Light rays are caught by detectors on the measuring head.
A narrow average angle means that there is less glucose in the dermis.
A wide average angle means that there is more glucose in the dermis.
