Someone on my other diabetes forum posted this today, and it looks pretty exciting, if it turns out to be accurate: http://www.sugartrac.us/ http://www.nfb.org/vod/vodfal0402.htm

Apparently, the woman who answered the toll free number on their site said it might be available sometime next year. It is in the trial phase at Harvard and awaiting FDA approval. They hope to have more information at the end of January 2005.

| | | Sounds great. But having to repeatedly pay for a code to make the device work is very cheeky! |

| | | We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't turn out to be a big disappointment. It sounds very promising, though, and it seems to be further along in the development stage than many of these types of things are when we hear about them.

| | Trust me, if they go with the subscription "code" model, it will be hacked inside of 6 months!
Not that I am advocating that sort of behaviour...

| | Wow, this seems a big step forward in testing. Probably expensive to start with though unless, er, um, you had the code

| | | We saw this demonstrated at this years AADE Indianapolis convention and were impressed and hopeful that this will work. There were a couple of things that bothered us about it. The rep wouldn't allow us to try it out and wouldn't use it on us. He said that that the FDA forbids doing that with as yet unapproved devices even though he was using it on his own ear. We discussed this later and thought that maybe he had a mock up meter to show the concept, not a working model, and it wouldn't be a good idea testing diabetics with it. We also wondered about its claimed 90% accuracy (better than most meters). The rep said it has to be periodically (I don't remember how often) calibrated with a meter and test strip. The accuracy of present off the shelf meters can vary 20% or so, so its accuracy would be limited by the accuracy of the calibration meter minus its own variation. Maybe they'll have special super-accurate calibration meters/strips made for that purpose, but expect to pay for any superior technology.

| | | Oh pleazzzzzz....
Even if I were inclined to do such a thing... You show me any piece of software that uses a "code" based authentication system, and it is hacked within a few days of release!
