Re: Possible Noninvasive meter

[Guest guest]

I thank you Dean for this message. I tell you right now. Whenever a

noninvasive blood glucose monitor becomes available I am buying one! The

worse part of diabetes management is the finger prick.

I have learned to tolerate the finger prick, it's the dagone inconvenience of

blood and the mess and the potential for errors that I am looking forward to

being done with.

like some of the others I don't mind the finger sticks, it is the trhying to

find the spot on the strip and making sure I get a good reading that makes

me want a non-invasive meter. WE need to find an e-mail address for this

company and flood them with messages to get them to put atalking chip in the

thing.

Agreed. The company should be made aware of the need. However, I confess

to being somewhat reluctant to put a full-court-press effort into this

until we hear more about the possible launch date for commercial sales

of the device as, frankly, almost all announcements of noninvasive

meters to date have been nine-tenths hype and one-tenth reality or,

worse, vehicles to part investors from their hard-earned dollars!

Agreed. The company should be made aware of the need. However, I confess

to being somewhat reluctant to put a full-court-press effort into this

until we hear more about the possible launch date for commercial sales

of the device as, frankly, almost all announcements of noninvasive

meters to date have been nine-tenths hype and one-tenth reality or,

worse, vehicles to part investors from their hard-earned dollars!

Hmm, this device does seem to have some possibilities.

Cast your mind back a couple of decades when either Hewlett Packard or

Texas Instruments came out with a wristwatch which would monitor your

vital statistics. It kept trach or your body temperature, heart rate,

oxygen level and some other things of which I do not recall.

Considering that it could keep track of your oxygen saturation it does

not seem all that unlikely that a device could also determine the blood

sugar level of your body.

Folks, this really is not rocket science. It may well be inhibited by

the fact that there has to be enormous profit in those wee little test

strips... Come on, get real, about 70 cents for something which must

cost at least a penny to manufacturer?

When Ultra came out with their One Touch they sold it for something like

$70 and it came with 90 test strips. What actually happened was that

they gave you the meter if you would buy 90 test strips...

Wal-Mart gets about 85 cents or so per strip when you buy 100 at a time.

I understand that Costco gets around 65 or so cents per strip.

hHang in there and bug the Dickens out of the folks who are developing

this device so they know that there really is a market out there.

You are right about those meters being given away. In fact when I got my

OneTouch Ultra I got it for free because I bought 100 strips. The same thing

happened with my UltraSmart, though I don't use that one anymore, but they

both use the same strips so I have it (along with another Ultra I got for

free as well and used before it started giving me measurements in mg/dl

instead of mmoml/L) as a backup.

Jen,

I am jealous! When the Ultra Smart came out I could not find the one

which came with the 100 strips... (boo hiss)

Oh well, I sure do hope that some sort of bloodless gizmo comes to pass.

Even if the thing would cost $500 it would be cheaper in the long run.

At around 80 cents per strip and 4 strips per day on average that is $96

per month.

If Crystal is having some fluctuation or is ill it takes more than 4

readings per day to be sure.

My, no wonder we are broke...Cy, the Ancient Okie...

You are right about those meters being given away. In fact when I got my

Jen,

I am jealous! When the Ultra Smart came out I could not find the one

which came with the 100 strips... (boo hiss)

Oh well, I sure do hope that some sort of bloodless gizmo comes to pass.

Even if the thing would cost $500 it would be cheaper in the long run.

At around 80 cents per strip and 4 strips per day on average that is $96

per month.

If Crystal is having some fluctuation or is ill it takes more than 4

readings per day to be sure.

My, no wonder we are broke...Cy, the Ancient Okie...

Re: Possible Noninvasive meter

You are right about those meters being given away. In fact when I got my

OneTouch Ultra I got it for free because I bought 100 strips. The same

thing

happened with my UltraSmart, though I don't use that one anymore, but

they

both use the same strips so I have it (along with another Ultra I got

for

free as well and used before it started giving me measurements in mg/dl

instead of mmoml/L) as a backup.

Yes, I really liked the UltraSmart. I couldn't use any of the fancy

features, however, because the display is so small, so I use software on the

computer for tracking. The reason I had to stop using the UltraSmart is that

I discovered that an alcohol swab can fuse with plastic! I must have left

the meter with it's screen touching a still-wet alcohol swab, and when I

discovered it had already dried and would NOT come off the screen no matter

what I did.

Nope. It's horrible with JAWS. It doesn't even say what control you're on

and says lots of things like " graphic 153 " and such. It doesn't even work

too well with the screen magnification software I use (ZoomText). I would

never use it if I had to spend money on it, but it's free from the LifeScan

website.

Do you know of anything that's more usable? I've been trying to find one

that works well (or is at least usable) with a screen reader but so far

haven't had much success.
