WOW does that look AWESOME!
And it claims to be as accurate as fingersticks! I think I would give it a try, even if I had to pay for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Celebrate 2.gif) -------------------- Linda

It looks better than that other system I've seen posted about that requires a belt to hold it in place, but this thing still looks pretty bulky. I'd definitely not be comfortable with it on my abdomen so it would have to work on arms & legs too.

I'm not sure it's really much bigger than our sensor/transmitter combo.

I think it could be a good system for a clinical environment. Tracking BG during and after surgery is becoming common practice even none
diabetics are monitored. The wear time is not long enough in my opinion and the big adhesive patch will damage my fragile old skin every time it's moved. When I was in the hospital they checked my BG every 4 hours and before meals (9x24hrs). -------------------- John
