Oh Robert, grinning. And the truth, one of these days, I can't tell you how
much I want someone writing on this list saying Veronica, I told you so!
Because boy I sure want an accessible version of this product. And in a way,
admitting that money kind of does run everything these days, hey, at least
we'd understand what we're working with and maybe someone would hit the
right button or nudge the right somebody somewhere. And if this professor in
Leads really is on to something, it will probably be out in 26 other
countries before we get it anyway. But for right now, the cynic has not
moved out of my house yet. <grin>

I was trying to avoid saying "It's all about the money." But, you know, I
guess it really is.

And of course, if those technologies did appear, someone would have to
figure out how to make the kind of money they're making now. Test strips is
a very lucrative business right now. And even if we got past that hurdle,
hmmm, how long before Medicare and other insurance would decide to cover
something new? I wish I didn't think like this. I really want something like
this. I'm having such a horrible time with my fingers right now. Truthfully,
if it was real, right at this point, you know, I probably would hand over my
life savings to get it. So until it's here, guess I still have money in the
bank. Hahahahaha!

I understand your frustration. This just happened to be an area where I had
some familiarity with the technology, but we all know that technology
usually isn't the problem. You guys are right. Lots of stuff is technically
feasible, but it doesn't come to fruition for all kinds of reasons.

Talking insulin pumps, bionic pancreases, islet cell therapy... the list
goes on and on-- perhaps the science and technology can theoretically
support all this, but I've been in the game for more than 30 years, and none
of this has panned out. Still waiting for the cure they promised 30 years
ago. And no, I understand a viable cure is not really in the cards, but my
point being, I've been told a lot, none of it has happened.

Oh yeah. Easy to be a cynic, and probably right. The history supports that
position, but the physics says otherwise. This is something people have been
working on for 25 years. Back in the dark ages, the technology was too
expensive, and the right materials for the detector were not dreamed of.
This could be important, but in the mean time, mike is right. Don't offer up
your life savings, but then, I wasn't asked to do that.

Bottom line, folks, the technology is feasible if unproven. Not here yet, or
even close, but, like I said, this one has a chance.

Oh I sure do. At least they did have a phone number for awhile. Like I said,
when it's out, call me and I'll buy the second one. <grin> I do want such a
beast though. Really bad!

Ahem ... Given the style of publication and no hint of the development path,
I suspect that this is yet another example of publishing an article designed
to liberate potential investors of their money.

Anyone remember the Sugar-trak?

Here's a link I got from another diabetes list. It's about a new noninvasive
meter, not being developed in the US though. I'm trying very hard to shove
the cynic away from the keyboard right now. Of course, the first thing that
popped out of my mouth was, will it talk? But in general, call me when I can
buy it. But I thought someone here might be interested in reading it. Yes,
someone does have to start somewhere for it to happen.
Enjoy the read.
