for Type 1 diabetics who need to monitor blood sugars many times a day in order to determine doses of insulin. However, Type 2 diabetics may not be served well by this as constant monitoring isn't necessary. For example, I'm on one shot of insulin a day -- regardless of blood sugar levels.

Call me old-fashioned, if you will, but I think that reliance on technology has its place, but technology is subject to errors and information theft and perhaps, even fraudulent changes which may affect dosage of insulin. It is possible to keep records to share with one's physician without posting the results to a potentially vulnerable internet place. Call it what you will, the "cloud" is just another set of servers.

I also have an issue with insurers having access to such detailed information. What would they do with it? Increase your insurance rates if some bean-counter doesn't like the results?
