Maya plumbing, first pressurized water feature found

[Guest guest]

Someone offered:

" No, you cannot delete a single reading. Yes, the delete setting is in the

set up mode. The reason for not being able to delete a single reading

would be that a person could delete the results he/she did not like and

therefore creating a false record of what is truly going on which

inevitably would hurt them. This is not to say you would do it, but it is

a safeguard. "

I have always found this a very offensive attitude among meter makers. I

have speculated meters were originally sold to doctors in part based on

this snoope function.

They did not believe what their patients were saying or even if they were

testing at all. The meter had results that could not befudged.

This seems to me part of the older attitude of doctor as remote parent

trying to provide daily direction. It goes against promoting user self

responsibility and enpowerment that makes for a successful treatment. In

fact the user is the best placed person and in fact the best person to

provide daily treatment and the meter should not enter into the scene

unless the user wants it to for their own reasons.

If meters were to be user friendly it would allow their use in whatever

manner they wanted. For example, several bad readings due to several

common reasons known to all meter users would find the average over time

feature worthless.

With several doctors under my belt I have never been asked to bring my

meter for downloading. If asked I would refuse and give serious

consideration to firing that doctor if they had a problem with my decision.
