Got payed today for the Blood Glucose Awareness Training research study. $100 gift certificate to Giftcertificates.com. I thought I was going to get payed cash- but this is ok. I think, because I was in the "control" group, I got less. I will also get the BGAT program on cd (whoopie). For this study(which began in August, and I finished up a week ago) I had to use a pda to estimate bg, answer a few questions about do-you-think-you-need-to-exercise-eat-take-insulin, check bg-enter it into the pda. 70 times. Then, I filled out an online questionaire. Because I was in the control group- I didn't go through the "training". After the user group was done, there was another round of online questionairres for all, and another PDA marathon. I mailed the PDA in about a week ago.. and got the email gift certificate today. I'm sure that whatevers in the BGAT, is not new info (the endo who "created" it, was my ex-ped endo). Staying in touch with your body-checking often, counting carbs, following the rules...
It took under an hour- to get online gift certificates to itunes, drugstore.com, and Lego (for future gifts), Blockbuster, Regal Cinemas, Bath and Body, TJMaxx/Marshalls.. Since it isn't redeemable for cash- there were no guilt trips over my shopping spree! (If they'd have payed me cash, I'd have used it to pay bills!)
