Texture analysis is used here in the proposed work in order to establish the correlation between the glucose level and texture coefficients. The texture image is stored in jpeg format that is basically the rgb image. The rgb image is converted to gray image and then we analyze the texture by Using a Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM).The gray co matrix function creates a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) by calculating how often a pixel with the intensity (gray-level) value i occurs in

In the earlier method, infra red light source is used in order to estimate the glucose level in human body as non-invasive method. However, it is observed that IR light source is affected by ambient light noise and results are not repeatable for the same patient under same circumstances. In order to enhance the repeatability of the measurements, LASER light source can be used as LASER light is highly coherent and a reliable reflected pattern can be achieved using the laser array of photodiode or receivers.
