[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2284591, member: 525950"] As much as I’d love to be positive, I wouldn’t want anyone to have type 1 diabetes regardless of how advanced the technology is. The advanced technology you talk about is extremely unreliable. Any temperature changes, sunlight or anything else affects the accuracy of CGMs and glucose meters. Just today my readings at the same exact time Glucomen Areo 2k: 7.1 mmol/L Libre: 8.3 mmol/L (fair enough since 15min behind) Contour: 6.4 mmol/L All happened because I came to a hot country 40 degrees Celsius. Then the other stuff like insulin, however essential it is to controlling blood sugar it is also very sensitive to external conditions. My one is constantly in the fridge and have to take ice packs when outside, shouldn’t be more than 25 degrees Celsius, thankfully I usually live in the UK. Then consider a pump... it’s great for BG control as you can give microdoses but you have much higher risk of DKA, constant tube attached unless you’re getting a patched one which is quite expensive. The only advanced technology I’m seeking is beta cell implants that come in gel form. I’ve done some research into it and they’re mostly still in the research phase but they place beta cells in a gel with chemicals that repel cells from immune system away, this implant is placed next to liver and aims to restore full or partial glucose homeostasis [/QUOTE]
