Go get 'em, Glucoboy!

Glucoboy is a blood-glucose meter that uses video-game technology to help youngsters manage their diabetes.

Published on January 4, 2008



Recently unveiled in Sydney, Australia, Glucoboy encourages children with Type 1 diabetes to test their blood-glucose level by unlocking new characters and reaching higher levels in a series of five games.

The gadget is equipped with two full-length video games and a mini-arcade. To access the games, Glucoboy must be inserted into the cartridge slot of a Nintendo Game Boy or the Game Boy slot on a Nintendo DS.

Test results are converted into Glucose Reward Points that can unlock games or be used as currency during play.
