Technology on cell-phones is more than fashion forward. The company Infopia USA has the patent for a glucophone.
This LG phone has a glucometer built in. The phone works alongside the company's Eocene diabetic management system. Results are sent to a secure server which graphs and helps manage your disease.
Only authorized users will have access to your account.
It's perfect for children whose parents are constantly wondering if the child tests enough, automatic texts of results can be set up, as well as reminder alarms.
