''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.

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