[Diabetes-talk] Gluco Trackhop

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Wow!  This is getting to sound cooler and cooler by the minute.  Let's hope 
this truly does come to fruition?  Without having to buy test strips all the 
time, I might could find a way to get the money to pay out for something 
like that?  I didn't think that $150.00 was too horribly bad for the 
sugartrack about ten years ago.
