This study investigates the correlation between infrared thermographic (IRT) signatures and blood glucose levels to assess the feasibility of using IRT as a non-invasive glucose monitoring tool in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. By analysing skin temperature variations in response to induced glycemic states in a cohort of diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, the research aimed to determine the practicality of IRT in real-time glucose monitoring. The findings demonstrate a significant correlation, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.72 in diabetic subjects, indicating a robust link between increased glucose levels and skin temperature variations. The study achieved a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 88%, suggesting that IRT can effectively detect glucose-induced thermal anomalies. The results underscore the potential of IRT to enhance diabetes management by providing a continuous, non-invasive monitoring solution, thereby improving patient compliance and quality of life. However, challenges related to external environmental effects on IRT measurements highlight the need for further technological enhancements and research.
