      abstract = {This book presents a comprehensive study covering the  design and application of microwave sensors for glucose  concentration detection, with a special focus on glucose  concentration tracking in watery and biological solutions.  This book is based on the idea that changes in the glucose  concentration provoke variations in the dielectric  permittivity of the medium. Sensors whose electrical  response is sensitive to the dielectric permittivity of the  surrounding media should be able to perform as glucose  concentration trackers. At first, this book offers an  in-depth study of the dielectric permittivity of  waterglucose solutions at concentrations relevant for  diabetes purposes; in turn, it presents guidelines for  designing suitable microwave resonators, which are then  tested in both waterglucose solutions and multi-component  human blood plasma solutions for their detection ability  and sensitivities. Finally, a portable version is developed  and tested on a large number of individuals in a real  clinical scenario. All in all, the book reports on a  comprehensive study on glucose monitoring devices based on  microwave sensors. It covers in depth the theoretical  background, provides extensive design guidelines to  maximize sensitivity, and validates a portable device for  applications in clinical settings.},
