[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1484191, member: 374531"] I thought it might be a con too, but it's finally arrived, it's on my arm (it's amazing how many uses masking tape has!) and has been pushing readings every five minutes on the dot to my phone - see screen shot below. The readings are much closer to meter than libre reader scans are. It's early days but I've been in the T1 business long enough to kinda trust it already. Whether I take that view in a few days time remains to be seen. The waterproof business is a hassle I quite like it at the moment, but I'm not sure how I enthusiastic I'll be in a few weeks time about constantly taking it on and off for showers. Maybe I'll just stick my arm out to one side! It doesn't have alerts. They say later versions will do. I suspect that's more a medical authority approval issue than a software one. There's maybe a lot of scope for you #wearenotwaiting guys to do a bit of hacking! It's definitely an interesting little toy, but I'm slightly concerned that, unlike Abbot, who are a massive company who were still caught out by demand, and the waiting lists which that caused, Ambrosia is a shambolic start up which might end up folding because of cash flow issues, even though the product, from my admittedly limited experience with it thus far, seems quite good. Here's the history screen shot of my first few hours with it. The history tab is way more useful than the graph. The graph y axis runs up to 60 so changes never show in any meaningful way. 60 ***!
