Claim 10:
11. A method in an electronic device including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) for emitting light at respectively different wavelengths, comprising:
in response to an input requesting metering of blood glucose, identifying whether the input requesting metering of blood glucose is received within a predesignated time from a preceding metering of the blood glucose;
if the input is not received within the predesignated time from the preceding metering of the blood glucose, activating a first number of LEDs among the plurality of LEDs,
if the input is received within the predesignated time from the preceding metering of the blood glucose, activating a second number of LEDs less than the first number among the plurality of LEDs;

receiving light beams generated by the activated LEDs and reflected from a user's body; and
obtaining a blood glucose value of the user based at least in part on the received light beams.
