Home Diagnostics Acquired:

The folks who make the meter in the strip can cap are being bought out at a big premium.

Diabetes testing products maker Home Diagnostics Inc (HDIX.O) said it agreed to be acquired by Japanese medical devices company Nipro Corp (8086.T) for about $215 million, or $11.50 per share. The offer represents a 90 percent premium to Home Diagnostics' Tuesday close.
