  • So any uppdate on this?

  • @Lazraxx your either say that because your IQ is lower than your shoe size or you trying to kick of yet another argument...just like others do on subject of diabetes! You, I or the most intelligent person living does NOT know what any human being may accidentally invent or come across in with the next hour, week, month or year...so stop talking CRAP ok pal! The cure for diabetes will come sooner than you think...i say within a few years most likely! So watch this space!

  • media hype !!!!!

  • This was promised by Medtronic in 2004. Where is it? Fact is CBGM odes not work.  Maybe in 100 years...

  • @dejahthoris Israel Found A Cure Already..

    Damn FDA Won't Approve It Cause They Would Lose Money

  • The CGM does NOT offer a fool proof solution to finger sticks. You must calibrate the device and test several times a day to confirm accuracy. It's good for trending data but that's about all.

  • I hate to put a downer on this great device, as i know only too well that it could give you perfect control, but isn’t this just a waste of time, money & resources? We need a cure not another expensive device like this! The UK government has just began an £800 million research program in to finding a cure & i personally believe that we are on the brink of finding one! Most of us in the UK use insulin pens, so i doubt we will ever get an opportunity to have one of these things! lol

  • I use this device. This is a continuous blood glucose monitoring system -- measures interstitial fluid... there is a 20-30 minute lag time between that and true blood sugar... Good for measuring trends, but not necessarily reliable for automatically administering insulin. You still have to test your blood sugar.

  • hes gonna be a billionaire:)

  • HOW CAN I BUY THIS DEVICE
