Glucoboy makes testing blood sugar a game

It's been in the works forever, but finally the Glucoboy for Gameboy is in production! Developed in coordination with Nintendo it's a way to make blood sugar testing, which can be a miserable chore for children, into a game. Kids get rewarded for testing on time and having blood sugar levels within the target range with points that unlock two full-length games and 3 short arcade-style games. They can also go online and "compete" with other kids, as well as ask questions and get other kinds of support.

Unfortunately right now Glucoboy is only available in Australia, but they're hoping to be marketing it in the States soon.
