If it gives you a reading within 30% of accurate, and it gives it to you every 20 minutes throughout the day, that's a huge benefit. So what if the true level is 170 instead of 240, or 80 instead of 110? Close enough! I'd be happy if it merely said "High/Normal/Low" even without specific mg/dl figures. I think they're saying not to rely on the readings for dosage purposes to cover their own butts. In practice, everyone will rely on the readings, just like they rely on meters today. In my experience, if you shoot up frequently enough in small doses, the change in the dosage resulting from the watch's inaccuracy won't have any real impact. The only ones who will get into trouble are the folks who try to escape with only 1 or 2 shots a day.
