Glucowatch

The Glucowatch people have reduced the price on their watch and on their sensors. I don’t want to try it though, unless I have good reason to know it works, and works well for me.

The insulin pumpers group has shipped a Glucowatch G2 to me, and I’m going to order autosensors from them on Tuesday to try it out. I’ll report here.

Though I have it on at least one user’s advice that it caused serious skin irriation for him, and was always around 50 units off.

It would be nice if it worked.

The glucowatch samples every 10 minutes and produces a 20 minute average, alarms when low or high, and is downloaded. It would certainly solve the need for basal tests if it worked.
