where can i find info on how a blood glucose meter is made?
im looking for an actual blueprint or a design on what goes on inside the meter.
thanks
You’re asking for proprietary information. Your chances of finding out exactly what is inside a glucometer are practically non existent. The meter is really nothing more than a device to measure the amount of electricity or continuity produced by the blood’s reaction to the enzymes on the strip. The strip itself is where all the magic takes place. That’s why the strips are so expensive and the meters are practically given away.

I have a degree in electronics and know that the meter is little more than a voltage and/or continuity checking device with a microprocessor and LCD display.
