In this paper a simulation of a microwave resonator sensor for constructing a noninvasive blood glucose meter is presented. A relationship between changes of the dielectric permittivity of the blood and the frequency response of S parameters of the sensor is observed. This can lead to a measuring procedure in which the glucose level present has a correlation with the value of the frequency resonance of the sensor. The test bank consists of a planar spiral microwave resonator over which the individual under test places his/her finger. This modifies the initial frequency resonance of the resonator because of the change produced in the measuring procedure over the dielectric permittivity of the resonator. Simulations show a correlation between dielectric permittivity blood changes, and changes in the value of the frequency resonance, in the frequency response of S parameters of the resonator.
