4% of penguinistas are diabetic

Is this some Linux research project, or are you just guessing
based on the population as a whole?

I suspect the Twinkie bars, the canned drinks, caffeine, and the
long periods of physical inactivity could set them up for being
above average ;)

I'm talking to a supplier of the meters used to measure sugar, the shortage I
see is in the glucomodule plugins for various meters.

Hmm, the glucomodul project by the same author includes a
reference driver, this is the full driver methods and structure
files, just needing to be fleshed out with details specific to a
known meter.

Assuming the meters don't vary hugely in functionality(?) I'd
think any Linux hardware hacker could knock out a new module
fairly quickly if they have the hardware documentation based on
the template, and a meter to play with.

You might however want to test any new module fairly
extensively.

Plus that project looks like a low activity one, but I think suggests that it
may show plausible promise.

Looks to be just getting started, the original author did his
own meter. So the lack of meter drivers is probably down to how
many people have heard of it, versus how many meters are in
widespread use.
