If the manufacture does not specify how the device should be cleaned and disinfected then it should not be shared. Review of the Manufacturer's instructions regarding multi-use blood glucose meters gives two options for disinfecting. Disinfection can be completed by using a commercially available EPA- registered disinfectant or germicide wipe. or To disinfect the meter, dilute 1 ml of household bleach (5%-6% sodium hypochlorite solution) in 9 ml of water to achieve a 1:10 dilution (final concentration of 0.5%-0.6% sodium hypochlorite). Then use the dampened paper towel to thoroughly wipe down the meter. Note there are commercially available 1;10 bleach wipes from a variety of manufactures.
