Win Points, Unlock Levels, Buy Items, Get Well!

Getting folks with diabetes to regularly monitor their blood glucose level is a major design challenge, especially for children. Why not make it fun and exciting to do? That is what DIDGET a relatively new blood glucose monitoring device promises to do.
The monitor docks with a Nintendo DS gaming system and converts glucose monitoring results into points. With the points you unlock new levels and buy items in the game. You are rewarded just for monitoring and even more for keep your glucose in the right range. In principle, this is a cognitive design master stroke!
