On the whole, I am happy with my Glucowatch. I'm using it again today and again, the numbers are matching the blood sugar monitor.
I learned something, however, yesterday, just like the pump, and just like the sets, preparing is something not to rush.
Yesterday I wasted an autosensor, because I was too hurried to prepare properly.
Here is what is working for me:
I already have IV Prep, so take a shower, wipe myself down with IV prep, and then get dressed. That leaves the arm a bit tacky, in addition to the alcohol.
Then I spray my arm once with the Cortozone spray, and prepare the watch and autosensor. By that time, everything is dry enough.
The watch stays "stuck" better with the IV prep and the spray cuts down on the burn and scare. You can't even see where the watch was on Tuesday or yesterday.
And as I said, the readings are good! They show exactly what is happening and most of the time match the meter. I do think re-calibrating is a good thing.
Also, I've been arm testing, not finger testing, which seems to be affecting the match.
