PR: 3tailer Partners with MyGlucoHealth on World’s 1st Blood Glucose Meter with Wireless Bluetooth® for Diabetes
October 20, 2009
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) October 20, 2009 – 3tailer, a niche online retailer, has partnered with Entra Health Systems, an international healthcare technology company, on a branded eCommerce store for the world’s first FDA cleared Bluetooth® enabled blood glucose meter for diabetics available at MyGlucoMeter.com. The revolutionary MyGlucoHealth Meter is enabled with Bluetooth®, allowing the user to automatically upload daily glucose readings, view customizable graphs with trends, and manage their diabetes care from one online portal which can be shared with anyone including health care professionals and family members. Medicare and private insurers have approved the glucometer for reimbursement (if you’re unsure if you qualify, please contact your insurer before purchasing).
The MyGlucoHealth meter processes results in just three seconds while also using the smallest blood testing size currently available (only .3 milliliters). With automatic coding of the test strips, an easy strip ejector, and alternate testing sites, the MyGlucoHealth Meter is the most technically advanced glucose meter on the market today. The MyGlucoHealth meter also meets higher performance standards when compared to many off-the-shelf glucometers. In glucose concentrations of less than 75 mg/dl, MyGlucoHealth tested within plus or minus 6.5% of laboratory calibration, 89% of the time and within 7.5%, 100% of the time. When testing concentrations of greater than 75 mg/dl, MyGlucoHealth was within 5%, 65% of the time, within 10%, 92% of the time and within 15%, 98% of the time.
Co-Founder of 3tailer, Jon West, said “We’re excited about how the MyGlucoHealth Meter is going to make diabetes management so much easier. The launch of MyGlucoMeter.com also marks a milestone for our company and we’re thrilled about this opportunity.” “The MyGlucoHealth Network offers financial benefits to patients, clinicians and payers,” said John Hendel, chairman of Entra Health Systems. “Recent studies demonstrate that diabetics who test regularly cost significantly less to care for than patients than who test infrequently. Those that test infrequently can cost up to 10 times more to care for due to complications, emergency room visits, and hospitalization that many times could be avoided.”
With the launch of MyGlucoMeter.com, MyGlucoHealth meters are readily available to diabetics wishing to simplify their diabetes management routine using the latest technologies. The simple-to-use store features in-depth product information, blog posts with RSS feeds, and easy ways to contact product specialists. MyGlucoMeter.com allows individuals to easily order and re-order their glucometer and test strips from the comfort of their home and eliminates unnecessary trips to the store. Customers will love the easy to use website and 3tailer’s dedication to improving the customer experience will ensure that MyGlucoMeter.com remains one step ahead of the competition. “The partnership we’ve created with Entra Health Systems allows them to reach the growing demographic of online diabetics effectively and quickly gain market share.” added Chad Ledford, Co-Founder of 3tailer.
Simply put, the MyGlucoHealth meter is the most technically advanced glucose meter on the market and is is made available by 3tailer at www.MyGlucoMeter.com. Be sure to follow MyGlucoMeter on Twitter at twitter.com/myglucometer for special coupons and more information.

October 29, 2008
Brendan Gibbons from Practical eCommerce contacted us for an interview and here’s an excerpt:
“Lessons Learned” is an occasional series where we ask experienced ecommerce merchants about their mistakes and successes. For this installment, we asked Jon West, co-founder of 3tailer, a niche firm based in Charlotte, N.C. with over 50,000 individual products sold on 17 websites. West and Chad Ledford, the other co-founder, started 3tailer in 2005 while studying at Appalachian State University. Since then, 3tailer has grown enough to garner over $1 million in annual revenue, relying on inventory suppliers to drop-ship all of the sales. Here we give you West’s experience and suggestions.
