My father has type 1 Diabetes, and he is a Jehovah's Witness. The prohibition on blood for JW's stems from The Bible's command at Acts 15:28,29 and other passages in the Bible. Our understanding of the scriptures is that we must avoid taking blood into the body. Since the samples of blood that are taken are not re-injected into the body, and are actually disposed of after the test procedure, there is no problem with the use of these types of testing divices for JW's.
