Its funny what you come across, I saw this about a year ago, cool idea but prob cost is out of my price range.
-
Yeah that is what I was looking for .. was how much .. but no where is there a price ... and they say they have a BUY button but I can't find it anywhere... I wonder what happened!
-
you have to contact them- I did last year and it was either 100 or 199 dollars-I just remember it was too expensive for me....but I did just read that some insurance may cover it-I think they even said Medicare part B. send them an email.

I don't think I'd want to drink everything thru a straw, though. I like chewing ice cubes from the bottom of the glass too much. I think the dialysis unit ought to have them to loan out. You could take it home for a day or two to help you get an idea of the exact amount of fluid you were drinking.

Yeah, I agree. They are too expensive for everyone to buy and since it wouldn't count ALL fluid (ice cubes, soups, jello, etc) it isn't perfectly accurate as it says it is. And for that much it should be perfect ;)
