                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2

                                  INTRODUCTION

     BCC Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BCC
Acquisition"), hereby files this Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to the
Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (as amended, the
"Statement") on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined under Item 2 of the
Statement) identified in the Statement pursuant to the Agreement with respect to
Schedule 13D attached to the Statement as Exhibit 7(1). Defined terms not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Statement.

     Pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "H-P Stock Purchase
Agreement"), dated June 6, 1999, between Diametrics Medical, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Issuer"), and Hewlett-Packard Company ("H-P"), the Issuer
agreed to sell, and H-P agreed to purchase, 1,357,143 shares of the Issuer's
common stock and currently exercisable warrants to purchase 452,381 shares of
the Issuer's common stock (collectively, the "Shares"). In connection with H-P's
purchase of the Shares under the H-P Stock Purchase Agreement, which closing
occurred on June 28, 1999, BCC Acquisition and Amarfour LLC (which is not a
Reporting Person, but the members of which are other trusts primarily for the
benefit of the lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, as
described in Item 5 of the Statement) agreed to execute certain side letter
agreements, to be effective upon closing of the H-P Stock Purchase Agreement, in
favor of H-P.

     Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
             RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 6 is amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

     (f)  SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT WITH HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY.

                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2

     In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement ("H-P Stock Purchase
Agreement") dated June 6, 1999, between the Issuer and Hewlett-Packard Company
("H-P"), BCC Acquisition entered into a side letter agreement (the "Side Letter
Agreement") with H-P, which Side Letter Agreement became effective on the
closing date of the H-P Stock Purchase Agreement, which occurred on June 28,
1999. The Side Letter Agreement provides that BCC Acquisition shall enter into a
separate agreement with H-P granting H-P limited rights of first refusal on
certain block transfers of Issuer's stock that BCC Acquisition may make in the
future. As BCC Acquisition believed H-P's purchase of the Issuer's common stock
and warrants to be in BCC Acquisition's best interests, BCC Acquisition entered
into the Side Letter Agreement with H-P on June 6, 1999. The Side Letter
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 7(10).

     Item 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     Exhibit 7(10). Side Letter Agreement by and between BCC Acquisition II LLC
                    and Hewlett-Packard Company

     Re: Diametrics Medical, Inc.

Dear Mr. Craves:

     Reference is made to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement between Diametrics
Medical, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Company to be entered into on the date hereof
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Purchase
Agreement"). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this letter
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

     Based on our review of Company's recent SEC filings, we understand that you
have a significant ownership position in Company. The Purchaser is unwilling
to enter into the Purchase Agreement absent your assurance regarding certain
matters addressed in Section 9.9 of the Purchase Agreement. In order to
further induce the Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, the Purchaser hereby
requests that you agree as follows:

     1. Upon the written request of the Purchaser, following the closing
contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, you will promptly enter into an
agreement with the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Section 9.9 of the
Purchase Agreement. Such agreements will be suspended at such times, if any,
during the Two-Year Period that the Purchaser's owned voting power in Company
falls below (a) 12% due to transfers of Company equity by the Purchaser and/or
(b) 10% for any other reason. Such agreement shall only be effective during the
Two-Year Period.

     2. You believe that, as a shareholder of Company, you will derive
substantial indirect benefit from the Purchaser's execution, delivery and
performance of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby.

     Please execute a copy of this letter in the space indicated to confirm your
agreement with the matters set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above, and forward
the signed letter by facsimile to the attention of Ross Katchman at
650/857-4837, with hard copy to follow by U.S. Mail.

     Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.


                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY

                                                      Title: Corporate Counsel
