GlucoMESSENGER™ interactive two-way communication device and service connects children with their parents, other children with diabetes and their diabetes educator for guaranteed improvements in blood glucose control.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 26, 2006 – Diabetech® (www.diabetech.net) announces preliminary results from our GlucoPALS Study proving that patient-centric real-time communication facilitates tighter glucose control. Other findings include improved insulin dosing accuracy, better family relationships, peace of mind for the family, and more frequent blood glucose testing.
Due to the overwhelming evidence and patient feedback, Diabetech is immediately stepping up its marketing efforts around this medically necessary and covered diabetes management technology. Based on the preliminary GlucoPALS subscriber data, Diabetech is now expanding its guarantee to include tighter glucose control or the service is free.
Recommended for families with diabetic children ages 8 and up, the interactive wireless communication system connects the child directly with his/her parents, school personnel, and any number of GlucoPALS (diabetes pen-pals) no matter where they live as well as providing the team with direct access to the patient in real-time.
GlucoMESSENGER is an excellent way for parents to stay informed without depending on already overburdened school personnel. “With GlucoMESSENGER, my son Malcolm is able to communicate with me several times during the school day without going to the office and without missing class time. He can ask questions about any situation that arises and I’m able to help him make the correct choice for his diabetes care. That translates into being able to stay focused and do better in school – he also checks himself more often at school because I am able to remind him to do so – and this means tighter control.” says Barbi Lazarow of Hillsborough, California. “Malcolm sends me his blood sugar number, what he has eaten and how much insulin he has given. I reply with any instructions or a simple ‘thx 4 remembering – good job’. We whole-heartedly endorse the Diabetech technology and can say, without a doubt, that it has improved the management of our son’s type 1 diabetes.”
GlucoMESSENGER joins the GlucoMON™ wireless glucose meter as the most recent addition to Diabetech’s GlucoDYNAMIX™ Diabetes Intervention System. This system is currently supporting carefully designed randomized clinical trials testing Intensive Management Protocols for various forms of Intensive Insulin Therapy at leading diabetes centers including Thomas Jefferson University, Driscoll Children’s Hospital, and Texas Children’s Hospital. The GlucoMON is a special order product in Canada. In the U.S., it is an investigational device limited to use in approved clinical studies.
Taking a person from being newly diagnosed and knowing very little about their disease into the role of active manager over their diabetes making knowledgeable life-critical decisions is a huge undertaking. Small mistakes in this complex regimen can have devastating consequences. Especially when that person is a school age kid with diabetes, they no longer have to fend for themselves and figure things out on their own.
Guaranteed tighter blood glucose control is accessible to everyone for less than $20 per month in our basic 6 month GlucoMESSENGER subscription. Better yet, join the expanded GlucoPALS Community for an annual program fee and receive additional benefits including free and discounted diabetes related merchandise and invitations to participate in unique studies and new product design. All subscriptions include the wireless two-way messaging device in the patient’s favorite color, unlimited wireless airtime, team setup, the diabetes short-code guide, moblogs and diabetes savvy D-Team support.
Trying GlucoMESSENGER is totally risk-free. Subscribers may cancel at any time. If the patient uses GlucoMESSENGER according to the program guide, communicates blood sugar levels, insulin and carbohydrate information, and tighter control is not realized, the company will gladly refund the cost of the subscription when the GlucoMESSENGER device is returned to the company in good working order allowing for normal wear. All you have to lose is high blood sugar levels and future complications.
