Does anybody have any information as to what constitutes a GOOD glucose measuring watch, accuracies, life expectancy etc.

OK so I'm a long term member and I have a question. Today, and many days recently, I have woken up with a high BG reading. Last night I went to bed BG of 28.7. This morning 9.4, lunch time 12.0. I have not eaten any breakfast and only drunk water yet this pattern of rising levels during the day...

What type of sweeteners or sugar replacements have you tried and with what results? Thanks.
