GlucoMON®2 is approximately 80% smaller than the previous GlucoMON making it the smallest and lightest GlucoMON ever. GlucoMON2 also makes the world's easiest way to share blood glucose levels even easier with even more automation designed into the device itself. GlucoMON2 availability is planned for Q3 '2007 and is capable of operating anywhere in the world where there is support for GSM/GPRS
networks. The bundled device, airtime and service will be available through payer-sponsored and direct-to-consumer programs. Not only is GlucoMON2 more advanced; it's also more personalized with a variety of designer colors available based on local preferences. Companies interested in distribution and/or establishing programs leveraging GlucoMON2 should contact Diabetech immediately for more information.

Previous generation GlucoMONs have generated over 70 patient-years of device usability and safety data. The original GlucoMON broke new ground in December of 2002 supporting the first end-to-end wireless diabetes management system in the world connecting patients and their extended care teams in real-time. To this day, Diabetech remains the only provider anywhere offering a comprehensive solution encompassing the glucose meter, supplies, long-range wireless management device, wireless network transport, remote control, stored patient records and active informatics including trend identification and feedback -all under one roof.
Our current GlucoMON supports LifeScan®'s Ultra® glucose meter across many clinical trials throughout North America and will continue in its role as a research device. Prior to the launch of the Ultra®2, Diabetech had been evaluating usability of newer glucose meters as candidates for GlucoMON2
integration. We arrived at our decision to support the Ultra2 as the first glucose meter integration to our GlucoMON2 mobile telemetry platform due to its broad patient adoption, unsurpassed quality and the fact that its OneTouch® blood glucose test strips are the most widely reimbursed strip on the market. Likewise, we selected GSM/GPRS as our wireless network backbone due to its broad global footprint and support for high speed data applications in our fourth generation wireless data, voice and video dedicated medical handhelds targeting availability in 2008.
