I don't think any of you Debby downer have been around a person with this problem. I say hats off to Ford for being in the forefront of technology.
First... I've been around plenty of relatives & friends with "this problem", I understand it.

But, (don't take this the wrong way) this is "their problem", and there are better ways. Not... I'm going to go jump in my Ford and check my blood sugar.

I personally have serious health issues, and I keep on top of them myself... it's a good practice to get into. Personal responsibility.

Therefore adding cost to a vehicle that has absolutely nothing to do with the vehicle itself, nor needed by the majority, just doesn't seem smart. It sounds more like a gimmick!

I am sorry for your brother's wife, but in-car technology isn't the answer.
