Bought one for my 9yr old son (for his birthday) who has had type 1 since he was 4yrs old ...

I have to say the machine is fabulous and its the first time in 5yrs he has been eager to test his sugar!!!

The machine plugs into the Nintendo DS and comes with a DS game - it downloads points u earn for regular testing and having good sugars within ur target range which u can then use to buy things in the game or unlock new mini games .....

Absolutely fab and lots of his friends are so jealous cos they cant get the game for themselves! I wld definately recommend getting one even tho its £30 - its well worth it!

Sounds absolutely perfect for a 9 year old! Hopefully it'll encourage him to get into the right habits for the future...
