Performing a Measurement

  1. Access the Gluco Interface:
  2. Start Measurement: Take the measurement in a normal lighted place, not too bright and not dark. Click the “Start Measurement” button to begin.
  3. Position Your Finger: Fully cover the camera lens with a fingertip. Place your finger within the camera frame as guided by the interface. Keep your finger and the device still for about 30 seconds.
  4. View Results: After processing, your estimated glucose levels will be displayed in both mmol/L and mg/dL, along with the date and time of measurement.

Calibration

  1. Enable Calibration: After a measurement has been completed and you wish to correct the result with a known value or expected expected value, toggle the “Calibrate” switch to open the calibration section (if not already open).
  2. Enter Reference Value: Input a known glucose value in mmol/L to calibrate Gluco.
  3. Save Calibration: Click the “Calibrate” button to store your calibration data. This data is saved locally in your browser. You can now take the measurement again, Gluco will learn and improve its accuracy with the reference value you entered from that point on. You don’t need to calibrate it after every measurement.
  4. Recalibrate as Needed: For optimal accuracy, recalibrate periodically, especially if you notice inconsistencies in measurements.
