Looks straight up from here. For Type I's, though, usually a Glucose Tolerance test isn't required, as the disease is usually pretty obvious (my bg at diagnosis, for instance, was about 800, and I'd only lost about sixty pounds).

yea that is true, I go through 4 bottle of test strips every 45 days. I'm covered being an active duty dependent. Doing some price checking I found they're 45 bucks a pop retail! Another point my Diabetic RN brought up is that it might make those on tight controls make readings more often, by making it easier.

you have a point, I am thinking cautiously but it's nice to think that someone is working on this, and there may be hope in the future. I know my fingers would thank them *L*.

What would really be neat is if they came up with a wearable monitor that could constantly measure glucose levels and alert the wearer when medication is needed.
I read somewhere that they have been working on something like this for military applications--specifically for men in combat--so that a device could automatically monitor and adjust blood glucose levels to keep men in optimal fighting condition.
Hope this works out.
