Diabetic? There's an App - and a Gadget - for That

This is one of the coolest gadgets we've seen in a long time - and unlike many cell phone accessories that make their way to the market, it's actually useful!

The iBGStar by Sanofi-Aventis is an iPhone-compatible glucometer. It builds upon the existing WaveSense Diabetes Manager iPhone program, which allows diabetics to track their results and identify trends over time. The iBGStar plugs right into your iPhone and is an alternative to glucometers that don't store or wirelessly transmit data. It requires a small sample size of blood and matches the look of the iPhone.

Data that is stored in the WaveSense application can be accessed on the phone or the user's computer, allowing them to always have it handy to share with their healthcare providers.

The official release for the iBGStar is expected in early 2011. To learn more, click here.
