Blood Glucose Monitors

Children and adults with diabetes may need to test their blood sugar multiple times each day, and inject insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels. These devices include the portable glucose meters and monitors used to check blood sugar levels, and also the syringes, pens, and pumps used to inject insulin. FDA endocrinologists, biochemists and engineers help make sure the medical devices used by people with diabetes are safe and effective.
