It’s Not Just MobilePhones…
“Most technology needs to go to finishing school” - David Rose
iBGStar
“When purchasing the iBGStar at my local Walgreens, it had not yet reached the storeshelves, and the pharmacist was not even aware of its existence. However, after retrieving the device from the back, there was a natural buzzaround the pharmacy staff. In fact, the tech who rang up my order actually snapped a picture of the iBGStar on her iPhone. Whether you like it or not, there is a certain magical appeal to the iPhone, and this can go a long way with a disease like diabetes.” - David Ahn, M.D. www.imedicalapps.com/2012/06/ibgstar-iphone-glucometer-review/3/
