Painless continuous blood sugar monitoring on the horizon for US$199 thanks to the K'Watch Glucose from PKVitality

To A. who has the severe nighttime hypoglycemia:

you need to go to see your doctor and get a dexcom. the difference in your life will be night and day. It is not 100% accurate but it has saved my life several times and when its not accurate they send you a replacement. you sometimes have to mail it back to them.I have taken too much insulin a couple of times and the monitor goes off. you can set the number at which it goes off...so that you hear it before you get so low you are almost comatose. i try new foods with it to see how much my glucose level goes up and when it comes down. i am on a low carb no sugar diet and i know if it goes low, I can take either a certain "sugar free" candy that always makes my blood sugar go up 40 points or a glucose tablet is even more predictable. I know that my fast acting insulin lasts 3 hrs, sometimes 3.5hrs. The dexcom shows whether you are on an incline, decline or level.. so if its 55 and level arrow, and I have not taken insulin for 4 hrs, my insulin is no longer lowering my sugar and i can take one glucose tablet wait a few minutes, see it rise to normal and go to sleep. It gives you a better grasp of the whole situation. its not perfect, but once you adapt to where its flaws are, you will be much more controlled. my father was diabetic pre- finger stick monitors. I still have ptsd from coming home from school and finding him going into a coma. There is absolutely NO REASON you have to live like this today. If you have insurance its covered. If you don't, you should be able to get it by being on state aid. If you aren't on state, get Obamacare... get an extra job tobpay for that if you need. And Libre makes you hold your phone to it, dexcom doesn't. both company's will let you try them for free. I found dexcom better (my md recommended it.. he uses one himself.) I tried Libre, which is a little cheaper but it can't be calibrated if its off... and then it will beep forever.
I have now been using Dexcom for a little over a year. its a game changer.

It doesn't make it easier to be type 1 diabetic, but it makes it easier to manage it and hopefully save your limbs, eyesight and kidneys.
best of luck. Oh yah, and I would try this watch.

If this company is doing it, can apple or samsung be far behind?
