Guess what was reported in the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette


!
Studies on the Diasensor have been horrible; interviews with current and former employees and
company confidential internal memos show. The Diasensor 1000 built by Biocontrol Technology
Staged Demonstrations and doctored results. After the Dream Beam Fraud are we surprised?

Faced with such poor results Biocontrol ended up doctoring patient test results it submitted to
the FDA and staging bogus demonstration of the Diasensor for potential investors and others in
a bid to give the impression the machine was functioning. The goal was to continue an inflow of
investors’ money. One researcher that left the company said, " The Diasensor doesn’t work

The FDA has twice refused to approve the Diasensor for sale in the United States. And
Biocontrol accused the FDA of keepng the machine off the market because of pressure from
fingerstick makers. ( I recall how the FDA was trashed by many of us in newsgroups and forums
on the www).


Rich Wiggins, Biocontrol’s long-time manager of research and development who quit, said
someday the Diasensor may be made to work, but he isn’t surer it ever measured glucose.
Biocontrol spent 11 years and 100 million dollar of investors’ money and has yet to proven
it works on one single patient.

Why would a company do this to our children? Why would a company dash our dreams?

Of course for the all mighty dollar!

We should ask CEO, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Purdy if salary as high as $900,000.00 dollars a
year drove them into hell.
I remember late one night as I stuck that needle into my daughter Melissa’s finger for the
thousand times she said OCH! I told her that a company was developing a meter that would
take her glucose reading without pricking her finger. She said, Daddy that would be so
nice, God bless them.
I say to Mr. Cooper and Mr. Purdy will God bless you?

And we will all go on piercing our children’s fingers for blood, tearing there skin to get insulin in.
And late at night we sit silently in the night dark fighting back a flood of tears, because our
children have an illness that will slowly but surely kill them. So Mr. Cooper and Mr. Purdy you
can go on enjoy your big cars, big home, big vacations, fine cloths and the best education for
your children with the money you ripped off honest people. And all it took was a little white out
on test results you summitted to the FDA.
