This paper proposes a blood glucose concentration detection method, which is non-invasive and based on the microwave detection technique. This method is harmless to the patients’ body. And the procedure of this method is fast and convenient. The feasibility of this method is verified by obtaining the relationship between the blood glucose level and the absorption spectrum features of the received signals with the range of blood glucose level 0–500 mg/dl. The validity of this method is testified by establishing a simulation model to test the feasibility of this method. The robustness is also checked by achieving the relationship between the peaks of the received signals at 500 MHz in the experiment earlobe phantom with a group of the human blood glucose level ranges from 0-500 mg/dl with the step of 20 mg/dl.
