This Powered By Accuracy Giveaway hits close to home as I have many family members who depend on accuracy when when monitor their blood glucose levels to manage a disease. Diabetes. Not only will this giveaway appeal to hockey fans (see the fantastic giveaway below)…it will also appeal to us parents…who live day to day…moment to moment…with accuracy.
Aside: Someone, close to my heart, has to monitor his blood on a regular basis. The accuracy of his numbers affects his medication…his diet…but not his passion for active living.
From checking his blood at home. And taking his pocket-sized blood testing machine away from home. Accuracy is portable and accessible.
It’s phenomenal accuracy can do.
I’m inspired by the powered by accuracy videos of Max Domi, Dessi Zaharieva, and James Coones. These ordinary people do extraordinary things while living day to day with diabetes. For them being powered by accuracy is a way of life.
