This is a little disc that sits on the back of his arm and several times a day he (or you) wave a smart phone over it and it shows what his blood sugar is. Don't bother changing his diet while he wears it. The idea is to show him how high certain foods raise his bg.Seeing it is what helps us realise how bad certain food are, and therefore get the motivation  to change what we eat.Be aware, after the free trial, sensors cost £50 for 2 weeks, so at that point he can go to finger pricking which is much cheaper.</blockquote>
