Will it work with meters other than a J&J meter? We are migrating over to WaveSense meters. Less blood fewer errors. Smaller. There is a wave sense bluetooth in the works.

100 bucks says the new bluetooth meters will require new, more expensive test strips.

Why would the test strips have to be different? Couldn't the meter itself have the Bluetooth technology to transfer data?

Yeah...I have a feeling this meter and the strips will be outrageously priced. :/

Well the WaveSense with Bluetooth uses the same strips as the regular WaveSense. I don't know what meter it is but apparently there is a One Touch out with Bluetooth and they all use the same strips. Don't know how much the meters are but hey who pays for meters?

Apparently a Bluetooth chip is about $3.75 or about 4 strips.

Has any one tried the or heard of the Glucophone? There is one in Korea LG's KP8400 or in the US Verizon LG 5200. It makes total sense to merge these techonologies. The Iphones plus is the music for sure.. Let us know if you or some one you know has used a Glucophone.

This is the sort of innovation that is needed in this space. Time to stop thinking of these mobile platforms as just another place to sell a game or ringtones. Time to integrate them into the lives of everyone; not just the healthy.

This demo is exactly what I have been dreaming about since I got my iPod Touch last year. I kept thinking of how great it would be to use the iPod to track my meals, my insulin and my glucose. What would be cooler is a small attachment, similar to those FM transmitter things, that would allow me to test directly with the iPhone/iPod Touch.

And for CGMS and pump user it would be great to wireless transmit data directly to the iPhone/iPod Touch.

totally cool if it works with the meter i already use.

And, as Khurst says, it's good to see Apple and others thinking of ways to make mobile devices more than just entertainment devices. Keeping my medical profile on it would be really convenient if it could be accessed by the people I need to show it to, for instance.
