iBGStar Turns Your iPhone into a Blood Glucose Meter

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the iBGStar Meter - a blood glucose monitoring system that works with the iPhone and iPod touch.

As the first and only blood glucose meter to be used in conjunction with the iPhone and the iPod Touch, the iBGStar  allows users diagnosed with diabetes to track, record and manage important information on-the-go.

The accessory is like a dongle that plugs directly into the dock connector and works with the free iBGStar Diabetes Manager App that is available in the App Store.

iBGStar Test strips need to be bought along with the glucose meter that is inserted into the strip port to take the blood samples. The dongle then syncs the blood glucose reading with the iBGStar Diabetes Manager App. You can then view and analyse the data with the iPhone app and also share the results with your healthcare provider.

Shawna Gvazdauskas, Vice President and Head of Devices of Sanofi-Aventis, the developer of the iBGStar, noted in a phone call conducted by Diabetes Mine:
