21st-Century Kids Fight Diabetes

"Technology is one way of bringing something new and different into 
diabetes care, and it frankly, it does make life easier," Lori Laffel, 
M.D., a pediatric endocrinologist at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, 
tells Ivanhoe.

With a personal digital assistant, kids can upload blood sugar readings, 
insulin doses and carbohydrate intake daily. In a study, children who 
used a PDA along with special software checked their sugars more often 
and had lower readings.
