[QUOTE="DiabeticGeek, post: 18621, member: 7961"] I am fairly sure that this will be never. The Glucowatch had all sorts of problems - both technical and commercial. If the "Glucoband" ever got as far as being a real device, then it no doubt ran into the same problems. However, I rather think it never got that far. A bit of googling about the company (Calisto Medical) is very revealing. This was a very small Polish company (I have seen a description of it being a husband and wife team). They made big promises in 2004, and said that it would be launched "within the next few months" for the following couple of years. They took out a stand at a major diabetes conference in 2006, but never turned up. As far as I can see, no one has heard anything of them since. The Glucoband web site is permanently "under construction", and the company web site is full of broken links and looks unmaintained. Draw your own conclusions. :( [/QUOTE]
