I feel the need to explain my not holding my breath.<\/p>\n
Shortly after I was diagnosed, I realized that hypoglymcia was a real problem when you were dealing with tight control and saw that Therasense was coming out with a continous glucose monitor.<\/p>\n
That was two years ago.<\/p>\n
Last year, Therasense submitted a PreMarket application to the FDA. Yes, LAST YEAR. They were bought by Abbott, and while we hear things about their technology through doctor’s conventions no other news has been out.<\/p>\n
Minimed has a continous glucose monitor that your doctor can put on you and retrieve the information about 3 days later. On their website they mention the soon availablity of the Guardian system. That’s been on their website for almost a year. We still haven’t seen the Guardian, and we also know that it will not actually display the information realtime. It will have alarms and you’ll have to down load it.<\/p>\n
So I am no longer expecting a CGMS any time soon.<\/p>\n
There are lots of issues with CGMS, I guessing one of the big ones is the sensor since the infusion set is the biggest issue when it comes to pump reliablility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
