[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1577060, member: 30007"] Yes, it is. It's the same sensor and technology. The difference is that Abbott submitted a different case to the FDA including approval for bolusing without fingerpricks, in order to try and replace finger prick testing. So instead of a one hour warm up there's a twelve hour one (the data collected from the European roll out showed that the first twelve hours are less accurate vs finger pricks) meaning that when it starts you can use it to bolus off. It also stops after 10 days. I assume this is an accuracy thing related to the previous point. But it's very much the same device, just with different software settings in the sensor and alerts to do fingerpricks in the reader. [/QUOTE]
