This intelligent blood glucose meter seamlessly connects to various iPhone or iPod touch models and is equipped with ten test strips, ten lancets and a pricking aid. The innovative technology of the iBGStar allows for the precise and simple self-control of blood glucose, conveniently integrating into the everyday life of people with diabetes. Patients can keep track of their diabetes – anytime and anywhere. In addition, blood glucose levels from previous months can be stored in an integrated diary. Results are thus accessible at anytime, are easy to manage, and can also be directly emailed to a health care professional. So that this innovative feature may be accessed, a special diabetes-management application was developed for the iBGStar. The design of the device’s housing, with its curved contours and chrome finish, lends the meter a discreet and stylish look that follows the design vocabulary of current Apple devices – significantly departing from the look of a medical instrument.
