In accordance with one embodiment, a blood glucose sensing device is provided that comprises a house having of an exterior surface and that defines an interior space. The housing is configured to be located within a cardiovascular pathway of a patient. An inductor-capacitor (LC) circuit is located within the interior space defined by the housing. The inductor-capacitor circuit comprises an inductive circuit and a capacitive circuit electronically coupled to one another. The inductive and capacitive circuit has inductance and capacitance values that define a blood glucose sensitive resonant frequency such that a resonant frequency of the LC resonant circuit varies in response to changes in blood glucose levels within the blood in the cardiovascular pathway surrounding the housing.
