- inetsee 6y agoI have a Freestyle Libre glucose monitor. It's not exactly continuous. I believe it lets me get a glucose reading as often as every 8 minutes. When I had to do finger sticks I would test my glucose an average of 4 times a day. With my new monitor I'm measuring an average of 20 times a day, without the pain of finger sticks. Inserting the sensor is almost completely painless, and I only have to do it every two weeks. Current CGM devices may not be "revolutionary", but they are a hell of a lot better than what I used to deal with.
- fy20 6y agoThe least invasive we seem to have in development right now is EasyGlucose[0] which monitors glucose levels from a photo of your iris, but it seems like nothing has come out since the initial press in 2019. Similar is Google detecting heart disease from photos of the back of the eye, whatever happened with that?
