[Diabetes-Talk] Must we fingerstick or is their new technology

Hi Gary and Debby,
The Dexcom G6 is far superior of a Continuous Glucose Monitor than any other
on the United States market!  If you have Medicare the difference in cost
per month it should be only about $10 or less per month for each of you than
the Libra Patch.
The reason is because it will tell you in addition to your current reding if
you are rising, falling or constant every five minutes.
It is what I use.
Warmly, Joy

Debbie and I are thinking about asking our doctors for some kind of blood
sugar monitoring device that doesn't rely on sticks. I gather from a brief
look at the list that some folks like what is available and some don't. My
understanding is that there are two competing devices. One seems to update
more frequently and is more costly. The other updates once an hour or
perhaps once every two hours but is less costly.

Can someone help with how close these devices are to the finger sticks and
if you find them of value. If this has too often been covered on list, feel
free to write me at gwunder at earthlink.net.

Thanks.
