Abstract
A device assembly for measuring and monitoring glucose content of blood, and a cover of such an assembly. The assembly is especially applicable for users with diabetes disease. The assembly includes a resilient cover on a measurement device. The cover has a slit at the input for a blood sample strip. The slit is closed at its rest position, but a test strip can be entered through the slit based on the resilience of the cover material. The resilient cover absorbs possible mechanical impacts and prevents impurities from reaching the sensor electronics.
