I Wish Blood Glucose Meter Companies...
I Wish Blood Glucose Meter Companies... would figure out a way to sell test strips for cheaper.
I Wish Blood Glucose Meter Companies... understood how accurate their meters really are.
A +/- 20% margin of error as the FDA standard is not very reassuring when you're trying to calculate your insulin dosage.
I Wish Blood Glucose Meter Companies... were more transparent about their clinical accuracy studies.
Post your own wishes here and the companies will listen!

One touch is like the 1000lb gorilla in the room. At least when it comes to meters.. they dont seem to care about innovating or even updating their strips, or using standards.. there is *ONE* meter in development right now and it is relatively lame by comparison (The Lifescan Verio)....(its available in the netherlands right now).. A standard or semi-standard USB cable... Whats that... Color display or an improved version of the OneTouch Ultrasmart.. Nope... I have more respect for the other players in the market, with ideas like the Contour USB (small sample, color screen and standard connectivity) and the Color Ping Remote (not avalible in US, of course)....but even the Color Ping uses 1uL of blood... Better meters use half that or less (0.5mL,0.4mL, 0.3mL).....Things like reminder alarms, or countdown from last test.. Wheres this stuff...
