[QUOTE="jrussell88, post: 1091236, member: 76095"] From my point of view it should be small and unobtrusive so that it's easy to carry in a pocket, with finger-pricker and strips. My favourite was similar to a biro so easily fitted in a jacket pocket with an insulin pen. No case. It also has to be easy and unobtrusive to use. No reason why it needs a display if the software and display are off-board on an Android smartphone and data passed with bluetooth. Then you can have charts and analysis on a device that's been designed for it. Rechargeable to save messing with batteries. Don't forget the finger-pricking device; this takes up quite a lot of space - could the components could be integrated and designed to fit in a pocket like a pen or phone. The finger-prick devices I've used are all pretty low-grade - you might get some easy wins here. One-handed use as far as possible. Lastly, if you can find a way of integrating the test strips, that would be nice, but a carton of fifty is quite compact so not so important. Perhaps a container that fits neatly with the meter, rather than another piece to carry around. I hope that's innovative enough - it would be good to hear how you get on. [/QUOTE]
