I have a One Touch Ultra BG meter (Many testers are also free). It
stores the time and date and the BG levels. It would be trivial to
also store my router's password, my email address and my doctor's
email address.

Many homes now have wireless networks. It seems like a pretty simple
thing to add a USB port for a wireless USB adapter.

Add the technology to blood pressure meters and bathroom scales. One
adapter, many devices.

With a USB port you could even feed information into the device with a
flash drive.


a BG meter with a USB port already exists

here is one that attaches to an iPhone with App

This site has info on 91 (yes, 91) manufacturers of BG meters, and
brief info about each (I think there was 1 with Bluetooth)
