I think some of the issues are time lag of the sensors to allow the feedback loops to work effectively and cost of the sensors at about £250 for 6 and they last about a week.  Not sure how that compares to test strips, but they wouldn't be eliminated entirely as the sensors i've looked at still need periodic calibration.</blockquote>
