A Video Game to Ease the Pain of Diabetes
I can’t say enough how excited I get when I read articles relating to the many ways video games can help all of us. Well now there is this great article I read about a game that’s helping kids get thru the multiple pin pricks per day to check their blood sugar.
Diabetes in children is something all of us have to deal with here in the US. It’s also something that other countries including Australia have to deal with.
A father of a diabetic child came up with a really cool idea. He decided to create a video game that would reward kids for checking their blood sugar levels. Anyone familiar with diabetes will know that you have to prick your finger as many as 8 times per day depending on the severity of your diabetes. Can you imagine how difficult that must be for a child?
So the way this game works is basically a kid who regularly checks their blood sugar as required will get extra points and the ability to unlock secret characters and levels within the game. You can read more about the game here:
