Why do we let the insurers run the show in this country???

Hi, very interesting post and your thoughts I like. Diabetes Manager seems to be very useful for patients.
A while ago I’ve heard there is some service (I don’t remember the name) for cardio more or less similar like that – patient can measure and send to their doctor cardiogram. Seems like mobile technologies are going to help people more and more!
