[Diabetes-talk] Gluco Trackhop

[Mike Freeman]

You guys are smoking something!  Even if the system works (which I'm skeptical of), it will be several years before the device could gain FDA approval.

Without having to buy test strips all the time, I might could find a way to get the money to pay out for something like that?  I didn't think that $150.00 was too horribly bad for the sugartrack about ten years ago.

>> Dorothea,
>> hanks for bringing this product to my attention. I checked out the company's website, and it appears that the device needs to be calibrated only every 4 weeks.  I wonder if it is approved by the FDA if the need for calibration will remain the same.  I hope so.  I think the need for daily finger sticks is one of the reasons why the Gluco Watch has not been more popular.  I suspect though that the cost of the device will be high, although over the long run it will be cheaper since you won't need to purchase test strips for it.  We'll have to wait and see if the FDA will approve it and then if insurance companies will cover it. I'll keep my fingers crossed on all fronts.  Successful technology advances diabetes treatment for us all.
