GlucoPhone turns your cell phone into a glucose meter

I'm always watching for news about gadgets that help diabetics and I recently found this new gadget from HealthPia.  The GlucoPhone fits on the back of some cell phones and turns the phone into a glucose meter that not only reads test strips but also can automatically send the test results to anyone you specify.  It also sends it to your private online database so you can easily track your glucose trends without doing anything except the actual testing.  The GlucoPhone and service are only available on Verizon currently but expect it to move to other networks in the future.  Fox News has a video demonstration online.
