“Wearable” seems misleading. It looks like this is inserted into the arm like a cgm? Or am I looking at the wrong product?

- bakul 22d agoYes.
- BrtByte 22d agoYes, it's minimally invasive rather than noninvasive
- FrustratedMonky 21d agoWell. this seems like a big detail to leave out for something advertised as 'wearable'.
- tantalor 21d agoPeople who know about and use continuous glucose monitors already understand what "wearable" means in this context. The devices are designed to be installed by the user at home, not by a specialist. You're more likely to get a reaction to the adhesive that holds the device on your skin than the sensor filament itself.
- FrustratedMonky 21d agoYeah, not being part of that market. I was viewing the headline more like an Apple Watch. That seems like the click bait of the headline, it sounds like a new feature that will be in a watch or something.
- EasyMark 21d agoI've worn one, you forget it's there fairly quickly. It really isn't a big deal. I wore it for a month (2 of them @ 2weeks each) and it wasn't a big deal at all. Ijust wanted to watch how my eating affected my glucose in almost real time.
