The Didget is a blood glucose monitoring system that plugs into the Nintendo DS. It helps kids with diabetes stay on top of checking their glucose levels by giving them an incentive. The Didget comes with a game called Knock E’m Downs, an turned based RPG. While the game goes in the DS slot, the Didget fits into the Game Boy Advance port and the two work off of each other. Testing regularly will unlock points that can be redeemed for new characters, mini-games, costumes, and more. The technology is now owned by Bayer, but was originally thought up by Paul Wessel when he noticed how his son would always loose his glucose meter but somehow always knew where his Game Boy was. Weasel pitched the idea to Nintendo and as a result they released the first version of the Didget: The Glucoboy. The Glucoboy was originally released in Australia and is best known as being the single rarest attachment for the Game Boy Advance. oh my GOD -- source link
