So obviously this is not big news for me because its not really news. Apple has yet to announce anything close to replacing the test strip for diabetics. This is speculation and more hype for Apple as if pricking a finger is the worst thing a diabetic endures. Being type 2 for 15 years I can tell you, the last concern is having to check my glucose with a lancet and test strip. I've seen attempts before and much like the trouble with monitoring pulse through a wrist device. The ideal of a optical system able to accurate check every human's glucose level is also something elusive to technology. Apple may indeed be working on a solution, but we may find the costs and procedures to get this approve through the FDA will be long and full of people who simply won't benefit from it. Personally as a diabetic when I read the headlines some wrote about this. I really thought Apple was actually working on a solution to reverse diabetes and not simply another attempt at making a less evasive test for glucose. I know Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer and all of us diabetics want to live better lives. But Apple is getting far too much credit when credit is not do yet. This is just not big news that Apple is trying again where others have failed. Let's talk about something when Apple actually has success.
