This often trips up users.
To start with make sure that device is detected appropriately in Linux. Plug the device in and examine the output from the following
usb-devices
dmesg|tail
There’s a potentially a bit more to it than just having it connected via a USB cable. It will really come down to how the USB device appears to the OS.
FWIW, based on this Ubuntu thread at least it may appear as a USB HID device (although the above output could help determine that)…

*The thread also details some work by a user who created a small script to obtain glucose readings in a Linux environment. This might be worth investigating as well.
From a Linux perspective, it would be a matter of knowing the relevant device node created for it (eg /dev/usb/hiddev0), making sure that the user has r/w access to the device node (a udev rule may be needed to help with setting group ownership). However, I’m not sure how such a device would be interfaced to a WINE environment.
Assuming that we are dealing with a USB HID device, the following wiki page may be relevant…

You can use the USB in the glucometers to enhance the measurement accuracy.
