This is good news for those of us who want to use more modern medical devices…
The main thing holding back the Continous Blood Sugar Monitors, new pumps, etc., is meeting FDA requirements and getting approved.
Hopefully this will help!

I can’t wait. Besides the pain — even testing 8-10 times a day doesn’t give the whole picture.

This article struck a nerve with me…
ACP Observer, November 2003 – Strategies to treat unexplained symptoms
My negative experiences with the medical establishment started when I was young. I have had explained pain when I was a child several different times.
The worst was painful periods. They were so bad, I would vomit and have diarrhea. The doctors I had during the period told my mother to ignore it, it was all in my head.
Oddly enough it wasn’t until my 30’s, I found a cure — depo prevera — and haven’t had a period or a problem for over 10 years now.
I often put up with pain, much longer than I should, since I’ve been told in the past, it was in my head. Thus, I put off carpel tunnel treatment and was absolutely miserable for years. I”ve put on treatment for heel spurs for the same reason — yeah, I’ve got them, feet hurt like heck, and I am having trouble exercising as a result.
I’m vowing to get pain treated sooner these days.
