The sweat meter uses alternating current and transmits negligible electrical current via the outer part of the skin, into the sweat glands and further onto the skin surface again. As sweat contains salts and waters it is a good conductor of electricity.
When the blood sugar is low, the sweat meter is designed to send a warning about crashing blood sugar levels to a mobile phone so that immediate help can be provided.
