Some new technologies to monitor blood glucose levels will not require access to blood to read the glucose level. [[Non-invasive]] technologies include microwave/RF sensing,<ref>{{cite journal|title=Microstrip Line - based Glucose Sensor for Non-invasive Continuous Monitoring using Main Field for Sensing and Multi-variable Crosschecking| vauthors = Huang SY, Yoshida Y, Inda AJ, Xavier CX, Mu WC, Meng YS, Yu W |doi=10.1109/JSEN.2018.2877691|date=15 January 2019|volume=19|issue=2|journal=IEEE Sensors Journal|pages=535–547|bibcode=2019ISenJ..19..535H|s2cid=56719208}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=T−shaped Patterned Microstrip Line for Non-invasive Continuous Glucose Sensing| vauthors = Yu W, Huang SY |doi=10.1109/LMWC.2018.2861565|date=October 2018|volume=28|issue=10|journal=IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters|pages=942–944|s2cid=52932653}}</ref> [[near infrared spectroscopy|near IR]] detection,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://edn.com/design/medical/4422840/Non-invasive-blood-glucose-monitoring-using-near-infrared-spectroscopy | title=Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy | date=16 October 2013 }}</ref> [[ultrasound]]<ref name="Diabetes U/S SMBG">{{cite web|title=Ultrasound could provide lancet-less method for measuring blood glucose|url=https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2013/Nov/Ultrasound-could-provide-lancet-less-method-for-measuring-blood-glucose-98769321.html|website=Diabets.co.uk|date=November 2013 |publisher=Diabetes Digital Media Ltd|access-date=27 April 2017}}</ref> and [[dielectric spectroscopy]].<ref name="BlackBird SMBG">{{cite web| vauthors = Donimirska M |title=Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices Market Volume Analysis, size, share and Key Trends 2017–2027|url=http://www.military-technologies.net/2017/04/06/non-invasive-blood-glucose-monitoring-devices-market-volume-analysis-size-share-and-key-trends-2017-2027/|website=military-technologies.net|publisher=BlackBird|access-date=27 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428053243/http://www.military-technologies.net/2017/04/06/non-invasive-blood-glucose-monitoring-devices-market-volume-analysis-size-share-and-key-trends-2017-2027/|archive-date=28 April 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> These may free the person with diabetes from finger sticks to supply the drop of blood for blood glucose analysis.{{cn|date=February 2024}}

Most{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} of the non-invasive methods under development are continuous glucose monitoring methods and offer the advantage of providing additional information to the subject between the conventional finger stick, blood glucose measurements, and overtime periods where no finger stick measurements are available (i.e. while the subject is sleeping).
