<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide devices, methods and kits for non-invasive glucose measurement. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The devices, methods and kits for non-invasive measuring glucose are described. Generally the devices include skin patches 400, 410, for placement on a skin surface and measurement devices for measuring glucose collected in the patches 400, 410. The patches 400, 410 may include an adhesive layer 404, 414, a collection layer 405, 416, an interface layer 408, 418 and a sweat-permeable membrane 403, 415. The sweat-permeable membrane 403, 415 is configured to act as a barrier to epidermal contaminants and glucose brought to the skin surface via diffusion. In this way, non-correlatable skin surface glucose will not be measured. The patches 400, 410 may further include components to induce a local sweat response. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
