7.2.4. Glucometer (BLE)
Despite widely variable intervals between meals or the occasional consumption of meals with a substantial
carbohydrate load, human blood glucose levels tend to remain within the normal range. However, shortly after
eating, the blood glucose level may rise, in non-diabetics, temporarily up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) or a bit more.
7.2.4.1. Sensor features
Description: Glucometer is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the
blood. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that
the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dl or mmol/l.

The sensor works with internal batteries.
