A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood.

It can also be a strip of glucose paper dipped into a substance and measured to the glucose chart.

It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) by people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia.

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 units of mg/dl or mmol/l.

Insulin (from the Latin, insula meaning island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets.

It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells.

In these tissues the absorbed glucose is converted into either glycogen via glycogenesis or fats (triglycerides) via lipogenesis, or, in the case of the liver, into both.

Glucose production (and excretion into the blood) by the liver is strongly inhibited by high concentrations of insulin in the blood.

Circulating insulin also affects the synthesis of proteins in a wide variety of tissues.

It is therefore an anabolic hormone, promoting the conversion of small molecules in the blood into large molecules inside the cells.

Low insulin levels in the blood have the opposite effect by promoting widespread catabolism.

The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal.

The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis.

Diabetes Care is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published since 1978 by the American Diabetes Association.

The journal covers research in the following five categories: 1) clinical care/education/nutrition/psychosocial research, 2) epidemiology/health services research, 3) emerging treatments and technologies, 4) pathophysiology/complications, and 5) cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

The journal also publishes clinically relevant review articles, letters to the editor, and commentaries.

A mobile application software or mobile app is an application software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Most such devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music or other media or more apps.

Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones.

Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.
