| WSJ’s Walt Mossberg Tests Telcare Connected Blood Glucose Meter Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:09 AM PST  Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg has published an account of his experiences with the Telcare BGM 3G blood glucose meter. The BGM acts like a normal glucose meter but also embeds cellular connectivity that sends blood glucose data to Telcare's servers, from where both doctor and patient can access them via the password-protected Web site or iPhone app. If necessary, doctors can send direct messages back to the glucose meter from the same interface. Mossberg, himself a type 2 diabetic, found the meter “a refreshing change”, and “a significant step toward bringing consumer medical devices closer to the world of modern technology”. Main drawbacks were the high price and limited battery life.
