Abstract
A wearable blood glucose measuring device based device and kit that incorporates non-continuous, invasive, electrochemical glucose test strip technologies for measuring blood glucose concentrations. The device can be inconspicuously worn due to its compact nature and integration into commonly worn articles such as watches, bracelets, armbands, wristbands, and the like. All-in-one embodiments include integrated test strip management including automatic test strip dispensing/ejection as well as incorporating spring loaded lancet apparatus capable of the dispensing, arming and activating functions enabling the user to provide a blood sample for glucose testing. Some embodiments do not integrate, nor contain any lancing devices/lancets. Other embodiments contain secure storage compartments integrated into the wearable blood glucose measuring device where the user can choose to store loose glucose test strips, calibration strips, lancets, cleaning wipes, and any combination thereof.
