PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce influence of mechanical and thermal effects on the skin of the subject due to contact between a measurement probe and the skin. SOLUTION: A non-invasive measurement apparatus for measuring glucose in a subject optically and non-invasively via the measurement probe 11 comprises a light source and a light detector 18 connected to the measurement probe, an applicator having a shape similar to that of the measurement probe, and a computer section 21 which controls the light source and the light detector. The computer section also controls the applicator to make the applicator contact the skin of the subject at a pressure higher than a pressure per unit area applied on the skin by the measurement probe during non-invasive measurement so as to stretch the skin of the subject before the non-invasive measurement.
