I have yet to find a company that manufacturers blood glucose monitors who makes software that is compatible with Apple computers. I have been asking for this for years and the response I get is that it’s not worth their investment. This goes for LifeScan and One Touch. I am a user of the One Touch meter. I have been using their meter ever since they have been producing them. They give the meters away for free because they make their money on the strips, 1.00 each. How hard or expensive is it really to create software that will work with Apple’s software? It seems to me that the meter companies are not only lazy, behind in times but also greedy.

Regarding DNHops posts…They have numerous factual errors regarding the iPhone costs, and to me, seem to be misleading about the general applicability of the mobile OSX platform. I find the points DNHops makes confusing, and he appears to have an inherent bias against the platform.

The iPhone costs $199 with a 2-year agreement of $69/ month for UNLIMITED data and 450 min./month. Alternatively, you can buy an iPod Touch for $229 one-time fee and avoid the monthly fees. The Touch runs the same mobile OSX platform. I predict that next year, the cost for a Touch will go to around $200.

iTunes is free and runs on both Mac and PC platforms. Thus, the medical information collected on your iPhone or iPod Touch can be synced to your computer. There is nothing preventing the medical device company from writing their App so that the information collected via the iPhone/Touch can be later saved/transferred to an open standard, cross-platform format onto your computer. That choice has nothing to do with Apple. Apple is merely providing these medical companies a Tool. This Tool is not free because Apple, as a public company, has a fiduciary duty to try to make money.
