[Diabetes-talk] technology flaws

[Jude DaShiell]

At least for blind diabetics, lancets need to get smarter.  The lancet 
needs to detect a capillary and fire only when it's on one of them if 
there's enough blood flow through it to get a donation.  Meters need to 
log every attempt to use them for a reading whether or not a valid reading 
gets generated.  Doctors probably trivialize the problem of invalid 
readings because those too are not part of the output from meters.  This 
second criticism I think holds for all meters in use these days.  Any one 
of these changes might get engineers and researchers to improve meters to 
the point that a meter doesn't just give an invalid reading, it could tell 
you or show a sighted diabetic correctly what the specific problem was 
that caused the invalid reading in the first place.
