In this paper Stokes/Mueller formula was used to trace the polarization state of photon packet. Single scattering model and Monte Carlo method were used to investigate the influence of glucose on polarized light in turbid media. Some Mueller matrix elements show optical rotation in the presence of glucose. Using image subtraction and integration, an approximately linear relationship between low glucose concentration in the physiological range and optical rotation degree was found.
