Question:
I would like to know is there a Web Page for Diabetics to use to send
information, such as blood sugar information from your meter, to some
Professional that can look at it and give you information which could be
very helpful, especially when one travels around the country and would like to be
able to get a Medical answer if they see that ones sugar is in a danger level.
Answer:
Currently, we're unaware of any direct method to link from
your meter's memory to the internet, although there are numerous software
programs that can allow you to transfer the data from the meter to your hard disk of
a IBM-compatible personal computer. See Computerizing Your Meter for examples.
Some of these programs allow you to "export" the
data or otherwise attach the data to your e-mail program, thus
allowing it to be sent over the internet to your doc's office (assuming that
they have an e-mail connection!). Then, either using the same software
program, or a database program like dBase or Access, they should be able to
review your meter's data.
