Unfortunately, the company is now defunct. This appears to be due to an issue of funding and overall accuracy of the device.

Wow, this would be a blessing. I have so much anxiety about testing–fear of needles, fear of blood that predates my Dx. I hope this happens soon!

Richard, I believe the belt also holds a separate battery for the device, which is another reason that the belt is needed. However, I can definitely relate to your concerns. I perspire easily and am a little worried that it could lead to a rash under the belt, especially during the summer months.

It sound like a wonderful CGM system however because of my sensitive skin it might make me uncomfortable wearing the wrap around belt.

I use the current CGM qand do very well taping the sensor to my skin.
It makes me wonder if this unit could be attached without the belt?
But then, if I ever tried it as it is now, it might bother me at all.

Thanks for this posting. I do hope that they receive FDA approval, that the device is accurate, and that the company is not bought out by the strip companies.

Abegoodness, thanks for pointing that out. It’s easy to assume that having a smartphone means that you would have a phone plan, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Plus, if you didn’t have a plan, you could just jump on a Wi-Fi network to download the app, or even possibly upload it from a computer. Great point.

There is no requirement for a monthly phone plan for the device to work. The device needs a phone but not a phone plan.

Chris, you make a good point about the cell phone plans being an ongoing cost. I should’t have assumed in my article that most users will have smartphones. Yes, I agree that the strip companies are a major concern in getting in the way of this device being released. They could, as you stated, attempt to buy out the company or lobby the FDA into never approving the device. All are significant concerns.
