Lifescan Integrate Glucose Monitor with I-Phone

While most of the attention of Apple's new operating system for the I-Phone has focused on its cut and paste feature, mobile health enthusiasts should be focusing on the phone's blue tooth features. Via Diabetes Mine comes word of a new glucose monitor and phone application that can be synced through bluetooth or USB to let diabetes patients track their glucose readings.

 

In addition to simplifying glucose tracking, Lifescan's application allows users to email readings to friends, family or physicians with notes about how they're doing. The application also includes features to build a meal and will estimate the amount of glucose a patient will need post-meal.
