I bought the diabetes version for my dad last xmas to see if it would help him walk better, I am reasonably confident these can help and much good reviews by users.
I have only been setting at a low level number 30, it does go to 99, I've tried 55 myself and I can really feel it, I suspect my dad has little feeling in his legs these days so I don't risk more than level 30-35 (might be higher levels would really help, so far not really helping him).
The last couple of weeks for the last 3-4 mins of a normal 30 min session I have increased the intensity each minute up 50-55, he feels that a lot more.
However after being on these higher levels his sugars have gone sky high after, this has happended more than once, last night he was 12 at tea (bit high yes) had his tea at 7pm, went on the device at about 8.30pm and before going to bed just after 10pm he was 21 !
It's not unusual for him to have random figures anyway but is this affecting his circulation and giving affecting his sugars in his blood, ??
I will revert back to intensity 30 only for now and see how that goes but anyone use these and any comment on sugar levels, proven device and Ian Botham the ex cricketer (and DB I think too) promotes these.
