That's not the promising part. The trends menu suggests further data manipulation on the device itself, which could be handy. But doubtful it would be. Trend: You ate. Glucose went up.

Hell, even the software that came with my power backup device looks like it was made circa 1996 by someone who bought a clip art CD and felt the need to make full use of it.

No more proprietary cable that you cannot find anywhere.

But:
-Rechargeable battery. Sure, it's nice, but let's say you need to test your blood sugar, but the thing is out of juice. With a regular meter, you can just go to a grocery store/Target/Radio Shack and get a new battery.

Hey, where's the machine that can communicate wirelessly with a smartphone? These companies should make it easier for people to track their blood sugar without having to rely on a software on a PC. How about a machine that can communicate with a smartphone app (iPhone, Winmo, Palm Pre, Android) that have advance features (vs basic memory feature on a dumb device). I thought they have one everytime Apple announce a new iPhone OS.

By the way, I thought I saw a blood sugar machine that connects to a Nintendo DS.]]>Sep 24th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/Sep 24th 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/Sep 29th 2009 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/Oct 5th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/bayer-introduces-countour-usb-glucose-meter/
