🩸 Blood Glucose Meter – Description
 
A Blood Glucose Meter is a compact electronic device used to measure the concentration of glucose (sugar) in a person's blood. It plays a crucial role in the daily management of diabetes, enabling users to monitor their blood sugar levels and adjust their diet, medication, or insulin accordingly.
The meter works by analyzing a small drop of blood—usually from a fingertip—placed on a disposable test strip. Results are displayed within seconds, and many models feature memory storage, data tracking, and even Bluetooth connectivity to sync with mobile apps.
