iGlucose Essential

Smart Meter

Streamlined cellular blood glucose monitor with single-button operation, a large black-and-white LCD, and a wide 20–70% hematocrit range. Readings transmit over AT&T 4/5G CAT-M cellular through Smart Meter’s Private Data Network. Supports pre- and post-meal markers, HI/LO alerts with ketone and hypoglycemia guidance, and on-device averages across 7, 14, and 30-day windows.

Clinical features

Clinical features

Measurement Range 20–600 mg/dL

Measures blood glucose from 20 to 600 mg/dL. Readings outside this range display as HI or LO.

5-Second Test Time

Returns a result in five seconds. Minimum blood sample size of 0.80 microliters.

Wide Hematocrit Range

Validated across a hematocrit range of 20–70%, accommodating patients with anemia or elevated hematocrit without recalibration.

Pre- and Post-Meal Markers

Tag readings as Pre-Meal or Post-Meal using on-screen apple icons to give clinicians context around meal timing.

HI/LO Alerts with Guidance

On-screen alerts at time of reading for High or Low values, including a ketone-measurement prompt at ≥ 300 mg/dL and a hypoglycemia indicator on low readings.

Automatic Strip Coding

Auto-Code detects the test strip code automatically. No manual code entry required.

500-Reading Memory

On-device memory stores up to 500 readings with date, time, and meal markers.

On-Device Averages

Displays blood glucose averages across 7, 14, and 30-day windows directly on the meter.

Rechargeable Battery

Rechargeable 3.7V lithium battery delivers approximately 500 tests per charge. Strip-eject button for hygienic disposal.
