Brice, please check the following link:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Spectral analysis of metabolites could be done in different ways and glucose is the most actively look for molecule since it represents an actual $2.5 billion market.

It is not the color of the skin that is check is the actual molecule ability to "absorb" (block)infrared light versus the amount that is "reflected" (allowed to pass and be calculated by a probe).

And this technique does not measure glucose in the skin, but the actual glucose running in the blood.

Pulse Oxymetry the most successful technique in this field is based on same principles and it measures hemoglobin oxigen saturation, actual oxigen running in the blood.

Brice, here is another reference to the subject.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Please, provide me with your DD so I could be educated, just answer these:

Can the Colormate distinguish between direct and indirect bilirubin?

My answer is not. Please, if you have any other provide your reference.

One of CCSI news releases talk about bilirubin in 3 to 10 day old infants, Why?

My answer, because this is the population one will see jaundice due to hemolysis and or liver inmaturity, a very common problem and 98%of the time, just high total and indirect bilirubin are elevated, but not the direct component. Even in this group physicians likes to see the direct component measure, it helps to quickly discard many liver disorders out of the list. And any newborn infant will get stick for blood at least once because physicians will like to see the direct component at least once. This will protect the occasional infant that does have increase direct bilirubin and a possible liver disorder, and will protect the physician from missing one of this and end up with litigation problems.

Maybe, you could not see the color of sugar in the skin. But the following references will help you a little, take your time:
