They don’t have a dedicated reader for that scenario? That’s the exact scenario I’d explicitly not want a phone for. Sure as a backup, but give me something small that’s the main reader.
I don’t think any glucose readers come with a bluetooth functionality. There’s one (or a few) that does NFC. The advantage of having a mobile phone is that it can also transmit the data to the clinical team, and the parents.
If the glucose reader came with bluetooth and a simcard slot (to share data), and a simple LCD screen to provide a simple glucose reading then I’d probably go with that. But there is nothing like that at the moment AFAIK.

It’s definitely an option, maybe depending on the brand. Abbot makes readers for theirs.
