Bi-lingual Device Tests Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure at the Same Time

Tania Madorma with the Diabetic Support Program demonstrates a new all-in-one blood pressure monitor and blood glucometer device that speaks in both English and Spanish to the person diagnosed with diabetes. People diagnosed with diabetes are also often diagnosed with high blood pressure. This device was designed with this in mind, and also designed for the visually impaired, speaking in your choice of English or Spanish.

A Diabetes Educator Who Knows Diabetes Inside Out

Scott talks with Kim Higgins, RN, CDE. She's been a diabetes educator for 30 years and has had type 1 herself for over 35 years, so she really knows diabetes inside out. Kim tells you how to find a diabetes educator near you to help you learn how to live with the disease.

The Little Diabetes Book You Need to Read is Now Available to Help You

Scott interviews Martha Funnell, MS, RN, CDE and Michael Weiss who have published a new book The Little Diabetes Book You Need to Read. The two collaborated to write a book about how to get what you need done after you have been diagnosed with diabetes. The book was inspired and written after Michael was diagnosed with diabetes and felt that nothing had prepared him for this.

Chris Gwaltney with Diagnostic Devices demonstrates the new Prodigy voice meter. Gwaltney says that this is the only meter on the market today that will allow the user to hear every process from setup, through memory and the testing process.

“You need dialysis” are words nobody wants to hear. But today kidney failure doesn’t have to mean driving to and from a clinic three times a week and having a lesser quality of life.
