Trials of innovative device proceeding well
A year or so ago, Reality Check passed on a request
from the manufaturers of this device for people to
participate in trials, and it created tremendous
interest. We thought you'd be interested
in an update on its progress.
The HypoMon is currently undergoing a at-hospital clinical study programme. The first study involves 30 Type 1 adults (+18 years) at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney. This study is approximately halfway through. The second study involves 30 Type 1 children (12 - 18 years) at the Princess Margaret Hospital, Perth. Two children have been tested so far. Data from the trials is currently being analysed and results will be available soon. Watch this space. |

Reality Check's resource online for you
Throughout 2003 and 2004 you would have heard
from us repeatedly as we called for contributions,
reviewers, ideas and suggestions for the Starter Kit.
It was completed, published and began distribution in
October last year.
A reminder that the Starter Kit is also available online for you to read at any time. A great starting point for any tricky questions - for both newbies and old- timers as well! |

Many Reality Check women contributed to producing
the first free booklet about pregnancy and diabetes
in 2002. It remains to be only the 2nd Australian
publication of any type on the topic!
The booklet has just been re-printed, and is available for download from the Reality Check website. |
