[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 626140, member: 74042"] I wouldn't say useless at all. Not when you consider that a finger prick test could be out by up to 20% anyway. During rapidly changing blood sugar events how often will you be finger pricking? Maybe once every 15-20 mins, hopefully not for long. And even you are looking to work out a meal time bolus, 20mins delay on a +/-20% error is not going to be significant either. I don't think it's being sold as a replacement for blood tests, more as a CGM-lite, which I think is a well positioned niche. Personally, at those prices I'm very tempted. [/QUOTE]
