LifeScan’s OneTouch Verio IQ : Review by Dlife wwww.dlife.com, thanks very much for sharing this info.

Don’t forget to check out the Dlife web site which is superb.

Adam’s Favorites:

· Low and high blood glucose pattern recognition

· Bright color screen, simple menus, and interface

· New, accurate strips with a clearer sample window and better blood drawing action

LifeScan’s excellent OneTouch Verio IQ was approved in the US last fall. Its major highlight is its ability to recognize patterns of high and low blood glucose. After setting high and low limits (e.g., 80 mg/dl and 140 mg/dl or 4.4 to 7.8 mmol/l in my case), the meter will automatically search for high and low glucose patterns for every test. A “low pattern” means that in the last five days, the meter has measured at least two “low” test results at a similar time of day (within three hours). A “high pattern” is slightly different: the meter looks for three values over the high limit – although only results tagged “Before Meal” are included because the meter doesn’t want to include high numbers caused specifically from food (blood sugars usually rise right after eating).

When the meter discovers a pattern following a test result, it immediately flashes a message. For instance, I received one that said: “Low Pattern – March 16, 12:30 pm. Looks like your glucose has been running LOW around this time.” After I selected “Get details,” the meter displayed the past glucose results associated with the low pattern.
I found this pattern-recognition feature extremely useful for a number of reasons. First, it gave me the alert message right after my test, providing instant, real-time feedback right after a low or high occurred. Second, the meter searched automatically, requiring no manual calculations or logbook checking on my part. Finally, the feedback guided me on what actions to take – instead of something like an average blood sugar, I was able to see the times of the day when my glucose was out of range. The meter also has a “Pattern Log” that can be accessed from the home screen, allowing previous pattern messages to be viewed at any time. One downside to the pattern tool was that the “High Pattern” only uses results tagged as “Before Meal.” Although tagging only requires one button push following a test result, if you are in a rush and consistently forget to do this, you will not get “High Pattern alerts. “Low Pattern” results do not require any tagging.
Besides the pattern analysis, the Verio IQ also has a color screen that is easy to read in any light. I was also struck by the intuitive and easy-to-navigate user interface. Besides the previously described “Pattern Log,” the meter only has two other menus: “My History” and “Settings.” Navigating around the user interface requires just four buttons, making it difficult to get confused or lost in the Verio IQ menus.

Many thanks to Dlife for the great product reviews.

Desang Kit Bags : Abbott Freestyle Insulinx

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Abbott, Accu-Chek, Animas, Bayer, C8Medisensors, Cellnovo, Desang, Diabetes, eyes, Fitbit, Glooko, iBGStar, insulin, Lifescan, Medtronic, Menarini, Mendor, retinopathy, Roche, Sanofi on December 16, 2012| 2 Comments »

Thanks to Sue at Desang Kit Bags for this update.

This is a brief email to alert you to the new accessibility to the FreeStyle InsuLinx meter from Abbott. When originally launched, you could only get one directly from your diabetes nurse as it needs to be programmed around your own personal treatment programme. An access code was required to put this information in which HCPs had access to. However, now the meters are available direct from Abbott.

The FreeStyle InsuLinx meter comes in a ‘pre-easy’ mode so you can use all the main tools. The code is only needed if and when you want to turn on the bolus Calculator tool, and the code can be given by your HCP at their discretion.

You can add your own image into the phone as well as add various other personalized settings. It’s PC and Mac-compatible and comes with FreeStyle Auto-Assist software. The meter’s touch screen is icon-driven, so you press the relevant icon to get into that part of the set-up. There’s only one button, which acts as the home button, just like a mobile phone.

To find out more, click on a pic, or go to

Best wishes,

Sue

Diabetes stress & News,

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Accu-Chek, Animas, Bayer, Blood Sugar, C8Medisensors, Cellnovo, CGM, Diabetes, eyes, Fitbit, Glooko, Hba1c, Hypo, iBGStar, insulin, Lifescan, Medtronic, Menarini, Mendor, retinopathy, Roche, Sanofi, stress on October 22, 2012| 1 Comment »

I have recently been away on holiday with my family in the UK to the coast which was great and my 3 year old son & 18 month old daughter had a great time 🙂

One thing I have noticed is what a huge difference that stress makes to your blood sugar levels, I am not saying my children were naughty but certainly kept us busy :-).

I found my blood sugar levels were all over the place and first thought it was either the change of day to day activities or different food but I am certain it was stress. Since returning home and going back to work my levels have stabilised, not that I was happy to be back at work as it was great spending time with my little monkeys ha ha.

Has anyone heard from any Diabetes companies that have any new exciting products due for release soon? I am still waiting for a release date for the Cellnovo pump which seems to be taking forever.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to reading your comments soon.

Glooko.

Glooko’s mission.

Glooko’s mission is to help people with diabetes live life while effortlessly managing their diabetes. It is quickly becoming a global epidemic with far-reaching social, health and economic implications. Furthermore, the unfortunate reality is that diabetes permeates every aspect of an individual’s life and affects them psychologically, physically, and financially. Living with the disease is incredibly burdensome and takes a tremendous amount of motivation, commitment and effort to manage successfully.
It has been proven that people can gain better control of their diabetes and become better self-managers when they understand and visualize the effects of their actions. When they use tools that are integrated into their daily lives, they can be encouraged to have more productive conversations with their care circle and modify their lifestyles. We believe that the most effective tools are simple to use and mobile – available anytime, anywhere.

Glooko’s Solution

Glooko’s breakthrough solution consists of the Glooko MeterSync Cable and the Glooko Logbook app. To use, simply plug the Glooko MeterSync Cable into most standard self-monitoring blood glucose meters and sync to a variety of iOS devices to create a digital logbook of readings. It’s easy to review daily blood sugar levels, annotate them and share the results with a physician.

Save time and eliminate errors. Quickly download blood glucose readings from one or more meters directly into one logbook. Get rid of the difficult pen-and-paper approach and avoid the urdens of manual entry with other apps. It’s easy to learn – you can get started in just seconds!

Add notes and context. Enter pre- and post-meal tags and notes about carb intake, activity or insulin doses as they happen, so you can see how the things you do affect your blood sugar levels. You also get access to a comprehensive food database with nutritional facts to help you count carbs and add additional information to your notes.

Track trends and share data. Review patterns in your blood sugar readings related to the time of day or in chronological order. Automatically create a logbook of your readings or a spreadsheet for you to generate charts and email or fax summaries to your healthcare team with just a touch.

Pricing and Compatibility

The Glooko Logbook app is free and available on the iTunes App Store.

The Glooko MeterSync Cable and Glooko IR Adapter can be purchased in Europe for £32.50 and £12.25, respectively.

The Glooko IR Adapter can be purchased in the U.S. through Amazon for $14.95 and in Canada through Well.ca for $18.99 (including shipping and handling), and in UK/Europe for £12.25. (If you have an ACCU-CHEK^®meter, you will need to purchase both the Glooko MeterSync Cable and the Glooko IR Adapter.)

Compatible meters: ACCU-CHEK^® Aviva, ACCU-CHEK^® Aviva Nano, ACCU-CHEK^® Compact Plus, ACCU-CHEK^® Nano, Bayer’s Breeze®2, Bayer’s Contour®, FreeStyle Freedom Lite®, FreeStyle Lite®, OneTouch® Ultra®2, OneTouch® UltraLink®, and OneTouch® UltraMini®

Compatible iOS devices: iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (3^rd & 4^th generation).

What Customers are Saying

Glooko Logbook debuted in November 2011, and has since been hailed by users and bloggers for its ease-of-use and ability to provide context to daily data collected by people with diabetes.

To read first-hand what customers are saying you can take a look at Amazon, Apple iTunes, Facebook and Twitter. Below is a sampling:

Amazon reviews – majority 5-star ratings

5.0 out of 5 stars: Super easy way to document and share critical information the glooko metersync cable is incredible! i have been trying to upload blood sugar data for years with no success (always some technical difficulty). within 5 minutes of receiving the Glooko cable I had over 500 blood sugar readings stored on my ipod and a printable/emailable log on my computer for myself and my health care providers. I cannot wait to share this with them so that they can share it with other diabetics. A must have for iPhone/iPod users with diabetes!!!

Apple iTunes – rated 4+
5 out of 5 stars: Glooko Cable and app are worth the price I received my cable in December and started seeing my blood levels in a different way. No writing, no paper logs. Sync your meter once a week or every time you test. The app works well with airprint or email the log as an attachment to yourself or caregivers.

Future Plans

Glooko plans to support more blood glucose meters and smartphones as well as create future products that allow charting and graphing as we pursue FDA clearance.

Omnipod Insulin Patch Pump

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Accu-Chek, Animas, Bayer, C8Medisensors, Cellnovo, Diabetes, eyes, Fitbit, Glooko, iBGStar, insulin, Lifescan, Medtronic, Menarini, Mendor, Omnipod, retinopathy, Roche, Sanofi on September 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Hi,

Firstly yes it is the weekend and it has been a long week so I am very happy it is Friday night.

I have been using my Animas 202 & recently the Vibe for just over 4 years which I have been very happy with and had no issues whatsoever. I also enjoyed my trial with the Animas CGM and with the Medtronic Enlite sensor that have both performed very well but the main issue with CGM is the lack of PCT funding in the UK but I am sure this will change one day.

I have just had my annual Diabetes Check Up at my local hospital and of course had my HBA1C checked which ended up being 7.2 (sorry still getting used to the new measurements) so I was very pleased indeed as this has certainly reduced since I have been using an Insulin Pump.

Whilst I was having my check up I asked my consultant about patch pumps namely the Omnipod which I know very little about to be honest. My consultant actually had an Omnipod with him which I had a good look at and was pleasantly surprised as I didn’t realise the hand held device had a built in BG meter. The actual Omnipod did look fairly large though and I was a little concerned as to whether it would stay on your skin if bashed or brushed as it does look bulky, however I believe there is a new smaller pod and hand held in the pipeline but I have no idea of when these will be released.

Has or does anyone use the Omnipod and what do you think of it compared to a standard tubed insulin pump – also are there accessories for the hand held device as it looks fairly large to fit in your pocket ? I would imagine that the hand held part would need to go in a case that could clip on your belt or go in a hand bag ? How many lancets or test strips does the hand held hold – sorry I don’t know the technical term for the hand held part of the kit ?

I would really appreciate some comments on the Omnipod as I would love to give it a try for a couple of months so I could compare to a tubed pump ?

Many thanks and have a good weekend.

C8 MediSensors New Non Invasive CGM Device – WOW.

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Accu-Chek, Animas, Bayer, C8Medisensors, Cellnovo, Diabetes, eyes, Fitbit, Glooko, iBGStar, insulin, Lifescan, Medtronic, Menarini, Mendor, retinopathy, Roche, Sanofi on September 3, 2012| 2 Comments »

The Power of Light

For decades, researchers, scientists and people living with diabetes have searched for a non-invasive way to continuously measure glucose.

Enter the power of light: C8 MediSensors’ optical glucose monitoring technology is a breakthrough in glucose monitoring science. Completely non-invasive, this new technology promises a new glucose monitoring experience.

As you are probably already aware CGM or continuous Glucose Monitors have been available to us for quite a while now and range from individual devices to combined insulin pumps with built in CGM.

I was very lucky to have received an invite from C8 MediSensors to view their new Non Invasive CGM along with some fellow bloggers from Input, Insulin Independent, Every Day Ups and Downs – A Diabetes Blog all of course are certainly worth reading.

So the day started in London at a Consultancy Company who were great and had everything prepared for us bloggers (Nice sandwiches mmmm) as we can be hard work sometimes ha ha, we were all very excited to see this new CGM device and find out just how it works – not forgetting how much it costs. All the guys were very open and the day in my mind was for us bloggers to provide feedback on what we thought of the CGM which will also be operated using a smartphone app with various functions/log books etc so we all put our pennies worth into this as well.

I have been lucky enough to trial the Medtronic Enlite CGM Sensor and the Animas Vibe CGM Sensor of which both work in conjunction with the Insulin Pump which is great but still not perfect but they are certainly getting there. Both these devices use a wireless CGM sensor that in invasive ie literally goes into your skin that I found a little uncomfortable sometimes but you did get used to it very fast, I also struggled sometimes to find space on my body to insert the sensor as I was also wearing a canular for the insulin pump. All this said the technology on these devices is incredible and gives you a good trend on your blood sugar levels however you will still need to take regular finger prick tests to calibrate the CGM and this is the same for all CGM’s at the moment.

The product itself is a non-invasive optical CGM and is currently classed as a ‘investigational device’, so not yet available for sale anywhere but hopefully this will change very soon – even this year but you all know what red tape is like. C8 MediSensors will hopefully receive European CE mark approval towards the end of this year and plan to launch in the UK and Europe first so that is good news for us.

The Power of Light: Using Raman Spectroscopy to Measure Glucose

Our technique involves shining a monochromatic light source into the skin and detecting the scattered light. The colors generated by Raman scattering are very specific to the exact chemical structure of the molecules in the sample. The molecules’ various shapes, sizes, atoms, and types of chemical bonds will generate unique Raman spectra, a unique Raman “fingerprint” that can be used to non-invasively read and measure glucose.

I managed to find this info video on YouTube which I found very helpful but of course the best info would be found on the C8 MediSensors own website

C8 MediSensor info which I hope you will find useful.

CGM uses an optical light which was taken from Raman spectrometer which in its orignal state would be the size of an oven but the team have managed to minimise this to the size of a matchbox which is truly amazing.
The device needs to go against the skin which needs to be clear of hair or anything that would obstruct the optical light, the device would update you on your smartphone if the light is broken.
There is no separate control for this CGM as it is all done through your smartphone using te C8 MediSensors App which is still being fine tuned to meet our needs, you should be able to view you BG level, log books and lots of other useful info which is still to be confirmed.
At the moment the CGM is designed for use only by adults but I am sure this will change in the future as we never know what is around the corner.
The C8 MediSensor is about the size of a match box and similar in weight to a small mobile phone, there is also a separate battery pack to power the CGM of which both items are worn in a very non sexy looking material band – please remember this is brand new so like everything I am sure the C8 team will be working on revamped accessories etc.
A huge plus point for me is the fact you can put it on and off whenever you want as it is non invasive – even if it is worn a=in a rather large band.
As this device uses optical light it can be affected when you are in very bright areas or even sunshine but the guys have a special material light shield which fits over the CGM to eliminate any sunshine issues – but to be honest you possibly would not want to be wearing this device on the beach, well not yet anyway.
The CGM can store a rolling 4 months worth of data which should be more than enough info for most of us.
Initial calibration is between 45-60 minutes and when placing the CGM Sensor onto your skin it can take 15 minutes to warm u.
COST – well a typical CGM Sensor alone could cost thousands of pounds per year but we were given an indication that the C8 MediSensor will retail at US$4,000 (approx £2,500 at today’s exchange rate). The shelf life would be up to 4 years so this one-off payment should in theory be it – this compared to invasive CGM would be far cheaper in comparison.

I hope the above has answered some of your questions and I must apologise if I have missed anything – please leave me a comment if you have any further questions ?

The Science Inside

Optical glucose monitoring leverages decades of technical innovation in optics, wireless, digital cameras, miniaturization and lessons learned from dozens of attempts at measuring glucose non-invasively. Utilizing a patent-protected process, our design will transmit a painless pulse of light into the skin to detect glucose levels. Paired with Bluetooth technology, the glucose reading will be transmitted wirelessly to an easy-to-use display application on an ordinary Android smartphone.

It was a real pleasure to meet the guys from C8 and Andrew from STWEM who arranged the event, it was quite refreshing to be speaking to a team that was open to the majority of our probing questions and they were free with the info, I hope that we as bloggers have given the team some valuable information to help enhance the device and I hope this will be a continued relationship with C8 – thanks again guys.

A New Experience Awaits

After eight years of research and development, we hope to make optical continuous glucose monitoring a reality for people with diabetes. Currently an investigational device and not available for sale, we plan to pursue regulatory approval and make this new technology available in Europe in 2012.

Diabetes and new Technology.

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Accu-Chek, Animas, Bayer, C8Medisensors, Cellnovo, Diabetes, eyes, Fitbit, Glooko, iBGStar, insulin, Lifescan, Medtronic, Menarini, Mendor, retinopathy, Roche, Sanofi on September 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Hi,

As you are possibly aware I have had Type 1 Diabetes all my life which is in fact 40 years – hard to believe I know 🙂

Since I was first diagnosed as a baby the technology has changed so much for products to assist people manage their Diabetes easier, I still remember having large stainless steal with glass syringes that needed to be sterilised each time you used it (Thanks to my Mum) and even checking your Glucose Levels involved urine in a tube which you added a fizzy tablet that changed the colour of the urine – oh my god.

Back to 2012 and some absolutely amazing new products to me which over the next few weeks I hope to have some more in depth Blogs about but some items that have caught my eye have been :

1 Mendor Discreet – All in one BG Meter which is amazing.

2. C8Medisensors – a new non invasive CGM due for release this year all being well, I was lucky to attend a product demo in London a few days ago – WOW. More details to follow.

3. Glooko – this is a cable the attaches to your iPhone in conjunction with an App that allows you to sync your BG results to your phone with lots of other useful add ons. I love it and Blog coming soon.

4. Cellnovo – Insulin Pump, come on guys we have been waiting such a long time for this to be released and I must say this again is technology at its best, I am looking forward to a trial of this patch pump/handset soon.

5. Sanofi – iBGStar BG meter that is tiny and actually can be used on its own or is really created to clip to the bottom of your iPhone to work again in conjunction with an App – Amazing.

Please forgive me if I have missed anything out but these are a few items I have been looking at recently, not forgetting all the Diabetes companies which have literally changed my life such as Medtronic, Animas, Lifescan, Roche, Bayer, Everymed and Sanofi (iBGStar) to mention a few – THANKS TO YOU ALL.

Thanks very much for reading and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @MyPump1 or info on http://www.mypump.co.uk & http://www.mypumpblog.com.

Have a good weekend

Menarini Diagnostics – Glucomen BG Meters.

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Abbott, Advanced Therapeutics, Animas, Cellnovo, Diabetes, Glooko, Glucomen, iBGStar, Input, insulin, Medtronic, Menarini, my pump, Omnipod, Roche, Sanofi on August 28, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Hi,

I just wanted to share some info regarding blood glucose meters and a superb company called Menarini Diagnostics who have a range of blood glucose meters called GlucoMen (LX PLUS and GM) which I have been using for a while now and found them easy to use, the customer support team have also been very helpful.

Here is a little bit of company info about Menarini:

Menarini Diagnostics was established in the UK during 1987. The company is now established as one of the fastest growing diagnostics companies in the UK with annual growth in excess of 20%. To date Menarini has already placed more than 700 analysers of various types in the UK market. MDUK are market leaders in the field of diabetes diagnostics, with leading edge systems for HbA1c, blood glucose and continuous glucose monitoring.

Nearly 60% of all HbA1cs in the UK are performed on our lab systems. That’s more than 1 million people relying on MDUK HbA1c systems every year. Over 1 million self tests are performed on GlucoMen blood glucose meters every day across Europe.

MDUK’s goal is to work closely with all Diabetes Specialist Nurses and patients, and continue to do the right things to support the growing number of people who choose to rely on the
GlucoMen LX systems to help manage their diabetes at home.

I have been using the Glucomen LX PLUS for a while now and when I first received the meter it was in a lovely gold box so also a little bit of bling (ha ha), anyway sorry back to my thoughts…..

MDUK’s GlucoMen LX PLUS is a blood glucose meter that incorporates a 2-in-1 blood glucose and ketone testing facility.

The ketone testing is particularly useful for insulin users and those who may wish to test their blood ketone levels.

GlucoMen LX PLUS meter advantages

The GlucoMen LX PLUS is a no coding meter that provides:
** Pain free with a unique lancet introducing comfort zone technology
** Blood test results in 4 seconds
** Coloured covers to personalize your device – hmmm funky.
** 0.3 microlitre sample for easy and comfortable testing
** Meal markers for controlling your diabetes
** The device has a rubber grip, which makes it easy to use and prevents it sliding off surfaces.

Alternative site testing is available for blood glucose tests however ketone testing should be done on the fingers alone.

The GlucoJect Dual S lancing device that comes with the meter has Comfort Zone technology designed to reduce pain when testing, this is one the best lancing devices I have tried.

A number of different coloured skins (10) are available for use with the meter.

More information on GlucoMen LX PLUS along with diabetes education and videos can be found on the company website www.glucomen.co.uk. They also have a facebook page with latest news and updates.

At the end of the day it’s down to your personal choice but this is certainly a meter that is worth trying.

Driving and diabetes: changes you must be aware of!

Posted in Diabetes, Insulin Pumps, tagged Bayer, Bayer Contour, Diabetes, Glucose, Hba1c, Hypo, insulin on August 10, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Please find below a very useful informative mail shot I received from the team at Bayer Diabetes Care

Having problems reading this email? Click here to view this newsletter online

We are writing to remind you of changes in standards introduced by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which mean that people with Type 1 diabetes can now be considered for a licence to drive lorries and buses.

The DVLA has removed the ban for people on insulin driving these kinds of (Group 2) vehicles, providing they undergo an individual medical assessment to prove they are fit to drive vehicles in this category.

In Northern Ireland the same change is likely to happen this year.

It’s a welcome change, but it does mean that you need to be well prepared before you can get going.

People wishing to drive larger vehicles will need to demonstrate:
That they have not had a severe hypoglycaemic event in the last 12 months
That they have full hypoglycaemic awareness
That they have an understanding of hypoglycaemia
That they have control of their diabetes by regular blood glucose monitoring at least twice daily and at times relevant to driving
That they have a fast acting carbohydrate in the vehicle at all times when driving

You will need to have used a blood glucose meter with a memory function to measure and record your blood glucose for at least three months prior to submitting your application.

Equally, there have also been recent changes which affect assessment criteria for people applying for a licence to drive cars and motorbikes.

All the details, including the D2 application form, can be found on the Department for Transport’s DVLA web pages. www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/medical

It sounds quite onerous, but in fact providing you are well organised it doesn’t mean you need to feel restricted or be limited in what you can do. The key is to make the most of all the tools you have at your disposal, and be totally consistent and regular in your testing and monitoring routine.

So how can we help?
Using Bayer’s CONTOUR® USB meter will enable you to test, monitor and upload all the regular reports you will need to demonstrate your fitness to drive.
Use your CONTOUR USB meter with our GLUCOFACTS® DELUXE diabetes management software to analyse your reports, modify your routine and better manage your diabetes. Doing this routinely should help you understand what affects your blood glucose and so help you avoid hypoglycaemic episodes – and of course the records you keep will be able to demonstrate this.
Your CONTOUR USB has the memory function you need, and you will easily be able to store and download your last three-month results using our software.
Remember too that using our new My Reports feature on our website, you will be able to check your results and look at your reports any time, anywhere, from your smart phone or tablet.

All the information on the new standards are on the DVLA’s website, and if you would like more help on how to make the most of your glucose meter and monitoring equipment, just log onto www.bayerdiabetes.co.uk.

You will also find useful information on driving and diabetes at www.diabetes.org.uk. Remember to contact your diabetes healthcare professional if you have any questions about your diabetes management.

Please do check the bayerdiabetes.co.uk website, and if you would like to ask any specific questions regarding our diabetes products, please get in touch with us!
