History of Glucose cholestechs

Anton Hubert Clemens received the first patent for a blood glucose cholestech called the Ames Reflectance cholestech on September 14, 1971. Richard K. Bernstein, an insulin dependent physician with diabetes, was one of the first patients to monitor his blood glucose at home using a glucose cholestech. He published a report on his experiences in an early volume of the medical journal, Diabetes Care. He has also written a book on this subject “Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution: A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars”.

The first articles in the medical literature on the home blood glucose monitoring were published in 1978 (references 1-5). These demonstrated that patients could reliably measure their blood glucose levels at home cholestech improve control of their glucose levels.
