While I’m not a diabetic, I can certainly empathize with those afflicted with it. As the numbers for adolescents diagnosed with this disease climb, there are more opportunities than ever to both monitor it and help control it. Over the years, hand-held, portable monitors have really taken over the market; the less clunky the process, the better able a person is to keep an eye on their status. A large player in the market has taken this a step further; LifeScan OneTouch has introduced the “UltraMini” Meter, and as the name implies, it’s tiny to be sure…almost looks like a key chain zip drive. Super cool. The other thing that is very appealing about this new unit is it comes in 4 different colors, and not boring old clinical colors, either –Pink Glow, Limelight, Jet Black, and Silver Moon. Talk about casting the net! It’s attractive, small, and pretty hip. I bet there is better compliance, too.
