Interesting to hear on this mornings news that the guy who invented the technology that now forms the basis of our blood sugar testing strips, has at last received compensation for his work. Thank you Professor Ian Shanks for your invention which has I am sure helped many Diabetics to more easily monitor their condition.

The detailed article about this is on BBC online news ‘top stories’ section.
 
Yes I saw this, a long battle but he got the compensation in the end.
 
Suggest you look at the thread in the news section.
