[Diabetes-talk] Hats off to Mike and Veronica!!!

[Veronica Elsea]

You know, anybody here remember more than ten years ago when the 
first promises of non-invasive meters started coming out? The 
companies were kind of stuck trying to figure out what people would 
buy on a recurring basis in place of strips. <grin.> The argument 
was, nobody will pay a big up-front cost for a meter. My answer is 
still the same today. Wanta bet? Right now, given that testing is 
still the cornerstone of good control by providing feedback and 
information, if something came along that really improved my accuracy 
and ability to comply, I'd find the money somehow! My hair stands up 
when others decide what I'm willing to do and not willing to do. By 
others I mean companies. <grin.> All we have to do is look at the hot 
technologies of the past few years. Okay, jobs are scarce. Everyone's 
broke. And how many iPads have been sold in the past couple of years? 
If the product is good enough, then I'm valuable enough to get it. 
<smile.> Companies won't know it matters if we stop telling them. So 
who knows! Maybe my epitaph will read, she just wanted a better 
meter! <laughing!> And then, nothing like a good fantasy, maybe I'll get one!
Cheers!
