This looks very good and a step up in the game.
However still at £3/day you are looking at over £1k/year this is still too steep for me to justify as I pay nothing for the current setup of finger pricks.
I expect the NHS would not want to fork out for this but I would be interested in the cost of comparison. Just looking at online UK retailers for lancets, blood glucose & maybe an option of ketone testing I would give a modest cost at £50/month assuming testing 3-4x per day.
I would happily contribute £1/day to have this system and if it is true what they claim - that more testing = better controlled diabetes - then this system would decrease overall nhs costs in the long run.
I doubt though that they will fund or even subsidise, which is a shame.
