This is wonderful news and looks very promising. McKenzie has used the CareLink Technology with her insulin pump for almost three years. The software is a great way to keep accurate and very detailed logs of her blood sugar numbers, how much insulin she gets with how many carbs and different trends. I am glad they will be using this technology to study and some day find a cure but for now keeping my baby girl healthy and strong.
McKenzie's UltraLink (Meter that she checks her blood sugar with) wirelessly updates the pump with her numbers so when we download the pump also wirelessly all the information is in one place. There is no getting anything by us ha ha poor kid.
I like the reports you can generate and print quite easily.
No need for keeping up with a log book all the time and writing every little thing down because really what 11 year old is really going to do that? I love the way we walk into Dr. Varma's office for 3 month checkups and Nurse Dreama holds her hand out to McKenzie and without a word Kenz hands her pump over. Nurse Dreama will ask her "how do you think your A1C is going to be?" and McKenzie will say "good, I hope". She has done great and only getting better at handling things all on her own. We are very proud of her and extremely thankful for the technology that she has been blessed with.
The CareLink system is 100% web-based and you don’t have to download a thing outside of maybe having the latest version of Java or something
