Islander,

I am still curious what if any direct contact you have with living with or care of a diabetic?? .....

However, the FDA approves or disapproves glucose meters (test strip method) on the basis of accuracy. Why is this being treated differently? Clearly you do not recall how questionable the results from the early glucose monitors were. The monitors that had to be calibrated before every use??? There was a wide range of variation that was acceptable. I suspect the early monitors started out much the same in accuracy as this watch will be. I also continue to question if they are not claiming the accuracy of the watch based on a need to Cover there A**es, in a sue happy country.

Regarding Kids and the use of the glucose monitoring watch, hmmm, well not only do I have a diabetic husband, but I also have a diabetic nephew. Your concern about the child relying on the watch, comes back to the need in a child's life for responsible parenting.

As with any new medical or technical advancement, improvements will continue to be made.....

Jane
