[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2183506, member: 41816"] 13. If you could choose any of the glucose monitoring devices available, what would you choose and why? Of the ones I know are currently on the market, probably the Libre. I have used it for years, am familiar with its foibles, can afford to self fund it periodically, and learn something from it every single sensor. 14. Do you think this glucose device could help you more effectively manage your diabetes, and why? It does. I need something that lets me gauge the speed of bg rises and drops, and lets me monitor what happens when I am asleep. Both of these are very important for my circumstances. 15. What are the most important features of a glucose monitoring system to you? An alarm (I have a history of getting v sleepy with rapid bg drops, and do not wake up with hypos. Not sure that an alarm would necessarily wake me, but it would alert those around me.) the Libre 1 does not have this feature, but I understand the Libre 2 has. I am looking forward to that. Reliability, consistency, accuracy, low price, convenient application and maintenance. Discreet appearance is nice. Reports, ability to send data and alerts to medical professionals and family. Ideally, I would like a sensor that I could use for a few days, remove and then reuse a few days later. I realise this is unlikely, but at one point the following product was newsworthy. [URL]https://sugarbeat.com/[/URL] Haven't heard anything about it recently, but I restrict my use of the Libre (due to cost) to periods such as holidays, new jobs, xmas, and social events, because those are the times I know I will have less control of my blood glucose and food choices. Sugarbeat would allow this. There have been other, similar, non-invasive short term, removeable adhesive patch devices touted on the internet, but these have not yet made it to a point where I could try them.
