I think this is pretty cool. For those who like to know what they're clicking on before they click, it's a new blood glucose meter that does a few nifty things. First it plugs into your gameboy. The more frequently you test, the more areas of a game you are unable to unlock. You can also do these things on your computer. THEN there's an online community where you can log-in. There appears to be a leader board on the website - good incentive (although I hope that it has controls for stopping kids using themselves as pin cushions to get famous). And there's a card game. But that doesn't excite me as much as the other bits.

It seems to be now available in Australia. Maybe useful for kids who are getting to the "difficult years" of diabetes control. Will be interested to see what the RRP is.

Maybe I need to start monitoring MY blood glucose... and maybe I also need a gameboy...
