True2Go: Worlds Smallest Blood Glucose Meter had been FDA Approved


Home Diagnostic, is the maker of True2go diabetes(Blood Glocuse) monitoring device that is based on Florida. True2go is the worlds smallest blood glocuse monitoring device that FDA approved just recently.

From the TRUE2go product page:

TRUE2go, about the size of a quarter, easily twists on to a vial of test strips so diabetics can better manage their diabetes with the convenience of on-the-go testing—it conveniently fits in a pocket, purse or backpack, so you can take it everywhere you go.

TRUE2go™ is part of the TRUEtest™ platform—a truly unique, nocoding system that makes it simple, convenient and cost-effective for diabetics to test their blood glucose levels more often. For at-home testing, there’s the companion TRUEresult™ Blood Glucose Monitor.

No-coding technology ensures the most accurate readings by eliminating the need for users to re-code the monitor for each new vial of test strips. This enhancement reduces the risk of inaccurate blood glucose results caused by miscoding or failure to change the code when a new box of test strips is used.

TRUE2go™ delivers precise results in as fast as four seconds using only 0.5 microliters of blood. Although tiny, it packs important features including easy-to-read display, test memory, strip release button and alternate site testing.
