I was trying to find a picture of it online... couldn't find one in the brief time I looked. I did go through some stuff on Mendoza's site that talked about it. I guess it was actually made by Accu-chek, was called Glucometer, and since Glucometer has become to meters, what Kleenex became for tissues. To most it means the same thing.
Next time I visit my parents I'll dig around for my old stuff. I'm sure my mom didn't let me throw it out as she keeps everything, but I may have to dig.
I remember that meter did not have a memory so one time while staying with my grandparents, I'd turn it off before Gramma could see the result. I'd then tell her a different number. (I used to get into the cookie jar there a lot.) I wasn't "smart" enough though and still wrote the real number in my log book. At the end of the weekend Gramma told mom my bgs were great, and then mom saw my log book. Boy was I in trouble!
