Bayer Diabetes Care has announced the US release of its DIDGET blood glucose monitoring system, which was covered here at Medgadget prior to its UK launch last year. While there are many blood glucose monitors on the market today, the DIDGET is of particular interest because it was designed for use by children. The monitor interfaces with the Nintendo DS handheld, and awards users with points which can then be used in the included game.
From the press release:
http://www.medgadget.com/archives/img/BAYER-DIDGET.jpg Bayer's DIDGET meter is intended for use by kids ages 4-14 and grows with the child's ability to manage their diabetes, offering two testing levels, Basic and Advanced. It comes with Knock 'Em Downs?: World's Fair that includes a full length adventure game and mini game arcade. The DIDGET meter will connect to Bayer's DIDGET? World (www.bayerdidget.com), a password-protected Web community that is coming soon, where kids can spend points that they earn from consistent monitoring practices and create their own page.
