Hi Everyone.
Does anyone agree with me that 24/7 glucose monitoring would be beneficial to all us insulin dependent diabetics. A device, that you could check your sugar level whenever you wanted, without having to draw blood. That would warn you when you went below a set level or above, and also tell you if your sugar was dropping (or rising) quicker than usual and tell you which way it was going. Basically giving you control of your body. As opposed to hoping you've had enough carbs or enough insulin, even when your ill.
Good news, there is such a device, and in this country, the link to this device is ; http://www.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/Gua ... -Time.html
Bad news, the cost
Has anyone tried one of these ? Or know anyone that has ?
All feedback would be appreciated, I'm trying to convince my Doctor to let me get one,
Thanks Russell
