1. A blood glucose measurement module embeddable in an external host for measuring a blood glucose level of a blood sample provided on a disposable measurement strip, the module comprising:

  • host interface;

    a microcontroller;

    an ASIC;

    a temperature measuring element; and

    a measurement strip port, wherein;

    the host interface is operable to permit electrical communication between the host and the microcontroller such that the module is operable to transmit a result of a blood glucose level measurement to the host,the microcontroller is in electrical communication with the ASIC wherein the microcontroller and the ASIC are operable to measure the blood glucose level of the blood sample,the measurement strip port is operable to receive the disposable measurement strip having the blood sample,the ASIC is in electrical communication with the measurement strip port such that the ASIC is operable to receive signals from the measurement strip port related to the blood glucose level of the blood sample provided on the measurement strip, andthe temperature measuring element is in electrical communication with the microcontroller and is operable to measure the temperature of the module and transmit signals to the microcontroller related to the temperature of the module.
