As you have learned over the last 18 months or so I am always up for a new glucometer. My Mom gave me one of her new ones- she has more glucometers… Thanks Mom!
The Freestyle Freedom Lite is small and very lite in weight and easy to use. I do like that it has the […]
A Pacemaker like device to help one lose weight? This type of machine/mechanism has been around since 2005 and has been hit or miss in the past. This summer Dr. Ikramuddin plans to implant a device like such in up to 30 volunteers as part of an international research study.
In this case, a pacemaker-like device […]
Here is a new tool that seems kind of nifty and useful! Being a diabetic does not always come without complications, as you all very well know, and the risk of developing ulcers on a foot that has little feeling due to neuropathy is very scary! There is now a foot thermometer that will allow […]
I have a new glucometer… finally. My mom actually grabbed it from her doctors office for me. I won’t even go into the story of what happened to my old one! Painful at best.
It is the Ascensia Breeze 2 system. We will see how it goes. So far it is very easy to use and […]

A new glucometer is on the horizon. The FreeStyle Lite blood glucose monitoring system will be available in the United States beginning in May 2007.
The new FreeStyle Lite system has an innovative automatic calibration feature that eliminates the manual coding step usually required by most blood glucose meters before starting a new […]
A portable blood glucose device called A1cNow, which tracks blood sugar levels over several months’ time, has been found to provide inaccurate and inconsistent test results for children with type 1 diabetes, according to a report in the journal Diabetes Care.
The monitor records hemoglobin A1c, measuring a long-term residual reading from blood cells rather than […]
Citing an increasingly competitive market, medical device producer Becton Dickinson & Co. announced that it will stop production of its blood glucose monitoring products for diabetics.
“We have concluded that our future outlook in an increasingly competitive market does not justify the levels of investment and additional resources necessary to continue,” said Chief Executive Edward J. […]
