The “next” generation of Continous Monitor
Implantable, Continuous Sensor Reduced Glucose Fluctuations in Type 1 Diabetes
Minimed almost has one out that doesn’t give feedback, only alarms.
Therasense is a step behind, with one that you change the sensor every three days — FYI, I like that idea better.
If doctors think testing 4 times a day is good, can you imagine what we can get with continous feedback? Though remember, that the readings will always be 2 hours behind the event in most cases — some liquid sugars will vary.

CGMS – Minimed’s version … well … sucks
On of the people on the insulin pumper’s list said that the new Guardian by Minimed ONLY alarms if the blood sugar is out of range. It doesn’t report what your blood sugar is.
They also apparently don’t care if it’s covered by insurance or not.
I’m waiting on Therasense’s version for sure now.
