Today's suggested topic was to create a petition. I've been reading through many blogs today and I really love all the petitions I've seen. As it is, I would need to have a rubber stamp made to keep my hand from cramping from signing so many. So I've decided to use a wildcard suggestion and tell you about my dream diabetes device.
My Dream Diabetes Device: Permanent Test Strip
Think about it. One test strip.. FOR LIFE! No more random strips found literally everywhere. no more money spent on an item smaller than my pen cap, but costs more than the entire pack of pens.
I got to thinking about this at lunch. About a month ago, a couple of us were chatting on Twitter about how many test strips we go through. Jenny of Sugar Beat started collecting hers in a plastic container. On April 14th I started collecting mine in my meter case.
