Integrated blood glucose measuring device
First Claim
1. A blood glucose measuring device, comprising:
- a blood glucose metering device, wherein the metering device has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side has a display screen and the second side has a dual set of spring loaded electrical contacts and a metering test strip for use with the metering device;
a test strip storage mechanism body, wherein the mechanism body has dual compartments, and wherein the dual compartments are positioned side by side in the mechanism body for storing a dual stack of test strips, the mechanism body is attachable to the second side of the metering device and enables the mechanism body to be removed and attached from and to the second side of the metering device, the mechanism body allows a view of the test strips in the dual compartments;
a test strip feeding mechanism for feeding a single test strip from one of the dual compartments in the storage mechanism for use with the metering device, wherein the feeding mechanism feeds into the metering device the single test strip from one of the dual compartments, the single test strip makes electrical contact with one of the dual sets of springs on the second side of the metering device, the metering device, the test strip storage mechanism and the test strip feeding mechanism are integrated into a single device for blood glucose measurement.

Abstract
An integrated blood glucose measuring device is described that has blood glucose metering device, a glucose metering test strip storage mechanism attachable to the metering device, a test strip feeding mechanism for feeding a single test strip from the storage mechanism for blood intake. The metering device, the test strip storage mechanism and the test strip feeding mechanism are integrated into a single device for blood glucose measurement. In another embodiment, a lancet mechanism is attachable to a side of the metering device and thus the metering device, the storage mechanism, the test strip feeding mechanism, and the lancet mechanism are integrated into a single device for blood glucose measurement.
