[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of portable blood glucose testers, and specifically to a blood glucose meter with built-in test strips and blood collection needle. Background Art

[0002] Self-monitoring of blood sugar is very necessary for diabetic patients, especially for patients with moderate to severe diabetes, who need to test their blood sugar 3-7 times a day. Therefore, the portability of blood glucose meters is very important. Most of the current blood glucose testers are still independent devices such as blood glucose test strips, blood collection pens, and blood collection needles, which makes the carrying and operation process relatively cumbersome.

[0003] At present, in the field of portable blood glucose meter testing, although it is convenient for blood sugar patients to carry test strips and blood collection needles, the existing technology still has some shortcomings.

[0049] In one embodiment, the size of the portable blood glucose meter can be 85 mm in length, 25 mm in width, and 40 mm in height.

[0050] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0051] When a diabetic patient needs to measure blood sugar, he can take out the blood glucose meter at any time, hold the shell 1 with his right hand, turn the display screen 52 and the operation button 52 outward, press the first limit piece 44 with his thumb to push it to the maximum limit of the first spring 42, and then let go. The push block 46 uses the elastic force of the first spring 42 to push the test paper 6 out of the test paper outlet 213 by 10 mm. At this time, the second limit piece 45 is stuck on the front of the second slide groove 12 to stop the sliding block 41 from continuing to move forward. The blood collection needle sealing cover 17 is pushed out, and the blood collection needle 31 is taken out for blood collection. The needle cap is opened, and the fingertip is pierced with the blood collection needle to make blood overflow from the fingertip, and the blood is dripped on the blood receiving groove 63 of the test paper 6. The measuring chip 51 starts to work and analyzes the test paper 6 data. After the measurement is completed, the blood sugar value is displayed on the display screen 52, and the operation button 52 can be used to view the previous blood sugar data. After use, the first limit piece 44 is pressed so that the second limit piece 45 is pressed into the first slide groove 11, and the force of the first spring 42 pushes the first limit piece 44 out until it is against the front of the second slide groove 12. In this process, the push block 46 also pushes the waste test paper 6 into the trash can, and the lid is naturally covered on the test paper outlet 213 to prevent contamination, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid measurement and control treatment after blood collection. The integrated structure is easy to carry, which greatly facilitates the life of diabetic patients such as going out to work and traveling.

[0052] Through the above implementation methods, the utility model integrates the blood glucose meter, the blood collection needle and the test paper 6 into an integrated device, which simplifies the entire blood glucose test process and lowers the learning threshold. Through reasonable structural design, the blood glucose meter is compact and convenient to carry and store. The test paper 6 and the blood collection needle are safely stored in a closed and dry cabin and can be used at any time to ensure that the test paper 6 is not damaged or contaminated. The one-button operation makes the operation method clear, and there is no need to insert or discard the test paper 6 by yourself, so the user can quickly complete the blood glucose test.
