The company said its True2go product is the smallest blood glucose meter in the world. Diabetes patients use the devices to measure sugar from their blood samples, which are taken on tiny test strips.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the True2go as well as another glucose meter called TRUEresult.

The company said both products provide test results in about 4 seconds using as little as a half microliter of blood.

Shares of Home Diagnostics Inc. fell 3 cents Wednesday to close at $9.38.
