I have serious privacy concerns with this approach this is after all your child’s confidential medical history.

On another note one can normalize the blood sugar using natural herbs like cinnamon and licorice root extract.

Diabetes today is mostly caused by a lifestyle that has less exercise and too much sugar. Diabetes can be easily avoided by just doing simple exercises each day like jogging and avoiding sugars. If you already have diabetes, exercise is still the best way to manage it. Food supplements like Charantia and Chromium also helps.

Agree with Melanie on the DS side as they clearly launched Didget as a Bayer offering in the U.K. first: http://www.drugstorenews.com/story.aspx?id=109715&menuid=341

Could it be a ‘cloud services platform’ like this Microsoft Azure launch mentions?
http://tinyurl.com/6q2pms I’m not techie enough to know the nuances, but like the idea of all the different interests coming together to create some ‘team’ style options that could amount to a win-win for health…

This is very similar to Glucoboy from a company in MN called Guidance Interactive Health (http://www.glucoboy.com/). I wonder if Bayer helped them get to market by funding an update for the DS. Would be interesting to find out.
