Would anyone be interested in an Aidex CGM review?

I splashed out on the new GlucoRx Aidex CGM whilst having medication changes. It is cheaper the the libre 2 and other competition (dexcom?). I could review it once I've had it a week or so? Would that be worthwhile?
 
It's always worthwile to share your experiences with a new tool, especially as not many have used this one as far as I know!

Hi,

I was perusing the Aidex site a while earlier & was looking at the sensor.
I'm not a self funder anymore. However, the deal looked good if I still was.

An out of the box review would be fantastic. However a few snaps either in comparison to the Libre or a tape measure would be invaluable along with how it performed for you..
 
I’d be interested. Toying with the idea of signing up while I still have a Libre sensor in stock - could run a parallel trial. Don’t really have the money for that though, so have entered the competition on their FB page to win a free starter pack.
 
I will happily review it then, although tonight I have been arguing with it that I am definitely not almost dead of a hypo! Not impressive.

Sounds like early days.. (Or hours.) Give it a chance to "warm up?"

To be frank the Libre (especially the 2.) is on the ball for me from the get go.
But I accept that others have issues till it settles in.

It's the same principle at the end of the day.

I amire your pioneering spirit.
 
I’ve joined the (small) FB group for users - sounds like a lot of teething problems.

Hi, I've been looking at this too. How did you get on with the Aidex and would you recommend it?
