News \ Diabetic Gamers Use Tech for BSL

"Glucaboy" is a new video game that plugs into either Gameboy advance or Nintendo DS.

It rewards the child for checking their BSL regularly. Kids who test regularly for healthy levels are awarded points which unlock new characters and secret game levels.

This game is available from the NSW Diabetes association for AU$299.95. For more info or to order call 1300 727 194

$299 is cheap if it has a glucometer in it.

This is a good idea but its too expensive for a videogame, it costs more than the gba and the ds! Plus i bet the games are really boring like leapster educational games.

It's probably got a glucometer built in as well so it can compare the BSL and award points etc.
