:bouncing: I feel like I'm walking around in a dark closet and the light turns on every once in a while so I can get an idea of my BG values. I'd like to know what effect certain food may have on me without pucturing myself every 15-20 minute. I have had a hard time finding a Glucowatch user or any other person who uses a meter that reads more often than I currently test. :wave:

It is very new and available only by prescription so most people will not have it at this point. I have heard good and bad about it. It is very sensitive and can give false readings with sweat. It can also only take blood sugars for 13 hours of the day. If you use it continuously, that would mean that you have 11 hours of no coverage so a glucometer may still be needed.
Some good things are how noninvasive it is. You can take your blood sugar as often as every 10 minutes. It seems very simple to use once you figure out all of the bells and whistles.
