"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…"

Finally Some Non-Meme Questions

Posted on November 29, 2007 at 3:50pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

On my quest to learn more about diabetes, I've found that the best source of knowledge comes from someone who is directly affected by it. I continue to learn something new each day, changing my perceptions on something I had no perception of before. Much of what I have discover drives me to want to share with others.

I'm going to start something new on my blog where I ask a range of people one specific question. Each post will feature… Continue

Word In Your Hand

Posted on November 12, 2007 at 2:32pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Well the new Word In Your Hand video just got posted up. It's seriously an honor for me to be given the opportunity to make the music for it. Pictures from this project and Diabetes 365 have helped me visually understand the reality behind diabetes. I hope the music doesn't detract from, but will emphasize, the feelings and emotions behind each word and individual.

This post is actually just to let people know that my actual blog can be found at:
http://whatisdiabetes.blogspot.com

There you'll find out more about who I am and why I am blogging. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to be involved here! I just don't want to be reposting posts all over the place!

SHe does test, and we were discussing downloading her numbers to a computer. My issue is that i use only Macs and don't have access to boot camp or parallels. ( I too love your hand btw). He was saying something about yours are compatible with Macs? I am looking at your site, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

At 8:14am on December 4, 2008, Carolyn Deans said…: I saw your reply about the glucometers. Can you really provide a WaveSense meter at no cost? I'm currently looking for a more accurate meter since I'm having trouble getting my CGM calibrated accurately with my OneTouch meters.

At 7:42am on December 4, 2008, Ron said…: Albert first off I want to say cool photoshop of your hand. Second thank for the reply to my post about consumer reports under glucose meters. The reply made me look at the wavesense site now I want to wait until the jazz with the bluetooth comes out. Being somewhat new to the big D but a long time tech junkie that is some technology that appears to have been a long time coming. I guess I will have to wait till someone out in the midwest starts selling those. That is one of the things I miss the most from the east cost(formerly from NJ).

I'm not a big fan of baseball, but I held on to it and started wearing again since they won again! :P
