[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 393948, member: 17713"] A cgm is not so accurate as blood readings from a meter. A cgm is mainly used to give the user an idea of the direction in which levels are moving.. They are not to be relied upon for accurate readings....They are usually used by type 1's that have lost their hypo awareness, or have had other issues around their blood readings.. Personally, I would as a type 1 pump user (and ex cgm user)...NOT consider this sensor that is non invasive until it has been well and truly tested by users via the nhs..... As there is no way I would waste my money hiring one or buying one.. As I still remember the glucowatch that soon became defunct. I also had a **** cgm by Abbott that was not fit for purpose... So no way would I consider for a long while... [/QUOTE]
