That would be a great approach.However if the patch works in swipe mode with your smart phone this would be acceptable to me.
I think it could be a viable alternative to the libre.
Very informative blog... (as always) Like all new products I expect it will have some initial problems and may not work for everyone. Great to see more market players , I find the daily patch attractive as it may not be possible to wear one continously for 14 days.I've been reading the data on the web about this product and had more of a deep look. Looks like it works either with your own mobile or the SugarBEAT reader. Much more interesting when you look at it like that. It's also got a European license now so they can sell it. There's a whole load more blog on it here, but it does look very interesting.
It depends. They've talked about all the players on the market being expensive. It will be interesting to see how they price it, and whether they consider Libre a competitor, which is really the key question.Cost wise I cant see this changing much. I would be surprised if they could beat £5/day let alone £3 to match Libre monthly costs.
I understand it is Bluetooth, however Bluetooth is quite demanding on battery power so I would expect alot of recharging. All round it is progress.Does this use bluetooth instead of NFC, meaning Apple iPhone/watch would work with it?
