[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1037458, member: 32394"] I'm not a parent, so my feedback may not be that useful to you, but: 1) proof read - it's really difficult to proof read something you have worked hard on for ages, so maybe see if a friend can help out with this (I will definitely make a typo, or 7, in this post so it's not intended to be a criticism, just a tip) 2) I'm not sure I really understand how this is that different from a dexcom g5 - continuous glucose monitor which will send the real time readings to a number of iPhone/pad/watch devices. What do you see as the key difference between your idea and what is already available? I absolutely accept that, because I'm not a parent, I'm probably missing something on how this would work for kids! But my main thought was a lot of your good ideas on helping kids use the information themselves could be done by developing a "child friendly" dexcom receiver. 3) how much do you know about the reality of nhs funding? It seems like the key hooking factor for your idea is the ability for this device to synch up with nhs systems. Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases the nhs is not willing to fund continuous glucose monitoring (at least for adults, it may be more likely for children). Have you actually spoken to a GP about whether they would be interested in this? 4) are the parts in quotes really quotes? Or is it accepted as part of this project that this is a "mock up"? If not, I would be wary of using the quotations. [/QUOTE]
