Diabetes is a disease that afflicts million of people worldwide. Blood glucose measurement is vital to management of diabetes. The technologies available for blood glucose measurement are both painful and costly. A microwave sensor can be useful for the non-invasive determination of blood glucose levels. As the step towards developing a non-invasive blood glucose measurement based on microwave, microwave antenna or sensor is designed and tested with aqueous glucose. In this paper the sensor is designed using Sonnet Microwave Simulation Studio Suite v 13.52, in the form of a microwave spiral resonator and ring resonator. The simulation results show, the resonant response of the sensor changes as permittivity of aqueous glucose changes.
