http://www.bayerdiag.com/index.cfm is a financial PR site

clicking on "diabetes blah blah" links on various sites, just sends one on a multi-
branching pseudo-circular goose chase. (just as spam-link operators do)
http://www.ascensia.com/ (glucose meters)

I tried a Google site: search of www.bayer.com .. many pages must be META-ed out.

Bayer's own internal search is very poor. Appears useless.
http://search.bayer.com/newbayer/sea...20&o=0&q=keto-
diastix


follow commonly shown link to "Bayer sites" … the page appears semi-interactive, but
produces a lot of spam-link-looking links such as "http://.././././?=diabetes", where all
links shunt to the same
http://web.bayer.de/index.php (in german language, though the originating pages were
en)

"Technical Details" link goes to a page recommending IE, enabling ActiveX (practically
banned due to security flaws), and active scripting (insecure without filters that are not
built into IE or Mozilla), cookies... all poor to mediocre web practices.

using Google
diag.bayer.
I find there were or are many:
diag.bayer.dk
diag.bayer.se
diag.bayer.fi
diag.bayer.etc, but none are english language



http://www.bayerhealthcare.com/index.php?id=17&L=2
go to USA …

another page.. choose "consumer care" link in center of page
http://www.bayerhealthcare.com/index...5&divisionID=3
links in middle of page
http://www.bayercare.com/htm/index.htm
which has only a flash link. Useless…

or , back up a few steps, can choose same name "consumer care" link from the *side*
menu:
http://www.consumercare.bayer.com/ (*another* different domain)
This is an OTC page, with links using domains named after each product.
http://www.aspirin.com/index_en.html, one-a-day, etc
or
http://pain.bayer.com/index_en.html
http://www.fungal-infections.info/

Maybe the OTC page is a spoof page. Prankster hackers managed to put a link to their
spoof page on (how many?) Bayer co sites.


and finally, there's no contact-us/webmaster form page to allow feedback about the
broken site.

I had been hoping to find online copy of the "package insert" or Keto-Diastix (two
squares of color show glucose and ketones response to urine)
