Non Invasive Blood Sugar Monitoring

I have two glucometers which give me widely different readings- 3/4 points!

I read about laser machines being developed last year but nothing to say they are on the market. Are they yet?

Also I see there is a sensor device which is small and circular. You attach this to your upper arm and scan with another small device. It retails around £59.

Anyone here using either of these non invasive glucometers?

The circular sensor you are talking about is the "Freestyle Libre" produced by Abbott. If you type that into the search bar then you will get close to a million or so threads:)

There are many non-intrusive BG monitors in production, trials, etc - but as far as I'm aware there's nothing ready for release anytime soon.

The libre is not non invasive - you insert the sensor wire under your skin with a needle.
