Brad,

I have been lurking on this group since I'm very interested in the diabetes market. It sounds like you have some information from preclinical trials and are able to cite accuracy. Is your information from optimal condition studies or do they reflect actual use in a home, on the road, etc? A number of the points raised earlier on the TCPI system point to errors that can occur during using under non-ideal conditions [and as we know, patients will find ways to stress instruments not apparent in the lab].

Have you managed diabetic patients in your practice? What kind of accuracy do you think is required in order to maintain "optimal" control? Obviously, diabetic patients do better the more closely their glucose is controlled and there is probably no clear lines between optimal and non-optimal. But in your opinion, what will the diabetic clinics think is sufficient and will that "sufficient" regimen be changed if someone like Integ comes out with a more precise monitoring system?
