[QUOTE="Listlad, post: 2212259, member: 499223"] There appears to be quite a few cases where those without a diabetes diagnosis have researched the potential benefit of the use of a continuous glucose monitor to non diabetics. A quick google brings up quite a lot of material on this including some interesting trials. The question of why is often addressed and typically better glucose control is one typical answer given. Here are a number of such sources. Cost for the average individual is a factor in the potential usage of these devices so they would need to be cheaper than they are today but typically new technology ends up that way anyway.

Undoubtedly there are benefits to those that are non diabetic from the wearing of one of these devices. The sources make very interesting reading and it is easy to see where the benefit might be derived. One potential area of interest and benefit might also be in the area of T2 prevention. Does this forum conclude that these devices are of no use to non diabetics and if so then why? [/QUOTE]
