"Would you apply the wrist watch to your children's arms? Thanks, but no thanks."

''The alarm function would be an absolute godsend, a lifeline for Michael,'' said Vivien
Skinner
of Dallas, whose 9-year-old son frequently experiences hypoglycemia during the night.

Mrs. Skinner and her husband set alarm clocks to wake them every two hours every
night, so
they can prick Michael's finger while he sleeps and check his blood sugar. ''It's been four
years in our house since we've had a full night's sleep,'' she said.

''If I have the watch, my whole life will be easier,'' 11-year-old Ryan Harvey of Holliston,
Mass., told the FDA panel."
