[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1716517, member: 374531"] There's a few companies working on these things, Abbott, Dexcom, Medtronic, and some others who are not yet on market. They are all trying to make their products better but are working against huge biological problems which are inherent in all attempts to do what seems like a simple thing, measuring in vivo glucose, but is actually really, really difficult. You're tag says you're pre-diabetic. If you're not even diabetic at the moment, testing with cgm is overkill. Wait until you're injecting insulin and then worry about it. Blood sugar levels are a constantly moving target. Yours are still being managed by your pancreas. Mines aren't, so I have to do it myself. Cgm, despite what you perceive as inaccuracies, helps me a lot with that in ways you won't understand until you're in that position. These things are cutting edge, they still make mistakes, but they're the best we've got for the time being, so we make the most of them. [/QUOTE]
