The manufacturers of all the blood glucose monitoring products currently on the market will be invited to submit their products for inclusion in the review process. The resulting submissions will be scored according to pre-approved criteria. Those products which score highest will be shortlisted, and samples taken to a patient and Health Care Professionals evaluation event.
