A brother has just been diagnosed with the diabetes and I am not sure how he will manage the frequent pricks for blood tests. Since I am told that the disease is hereditary, the technology offers hope, if not for him, then for his children. I also hope there will be exports to South Africa. I am also excited about the idea.

I, being a diabetic my-self, know the stress and discipline of having to prick my fingers 5 to 6 times a day just to stay healthy. So much so in fact that I began to neglect my health and only check once or twice a day and later felt the consequences of it. When I heard about the idea of only having to hold something in your hand, and using no needles to check my blood sugar, I felt as if the solution to my terminal problem might be getting closer, and was reassured that it was something that I could in fact live with and manage without so much discipline and pain. Now that I am seeing the product on the internet I feel overjoyed to know that the day is nearing to where managing this disease will not only be easier and maybe a little fun. I for one support everything that Mr. Mackiewicz is doing to improve the joys of life and health of those who will use his product.

We are all imagining it from some parallel universe. Oh, and yes, Core77 are our BEST of friends. We go out bowling with the whole staff every weekend. Of course, this all occurs in the parallel universe I referred to earlier. </p> <p>And since you know every detail, and read the article and saw the sources I'm sure you already know that both of the sources are very renowned design blogs.

Don't be a dolt by sending it to friends from this blog around as if it were a real product or prototype even. This is not a real product, only a glint in someone’s eye.

If they need people to test something like this out...I'm definately the guy. I haven't tested my blood sugar in years (I know, it's horrible), but I do regularly give myself insulin injections. The hassle of having to prick your finger, put blood on a test strip and wait a few seconds for a result is really the only reason why I don't test my blood sugar...it's annoying, gross, and can be embarassing, especially at a restaurant, on a date, etc. So, when this puppy does come out, I know I'll be at the front of the line waitin' for this guy.
