<i>LifeScan v. Shasta Tech </i>

By J. Gregory Chrisman and Christopher Meta

The American Diabetes Association reports that 25.8 million people in the United States have diabetes. Every day, millions of those individuals monitor their blood sugar with blood glucose meters and test strips. The test strip is discarded after each use. Depending on an individual's circumstances, she may need to test her blood sugar several times a day. For example, an individual with Type 1 diabetes may need to check her blood sugar three or more times per day, while an individual with Type 2 diabetes may need to test one or more times per day. The number of test strips consumed each day is staggering and studies indicate that the global market for diabetes diagnostic tools is projected to reach $26 billion by 2015.
