Thanks for this Chris, I think I read about it the other day (I've noticed from doing the News section here that things get reported for about a fortnight in various different places!) It does sound very interesting as it seems to be a CGM but without the expensive and invasive sensors. Mind you, I'd probably have to upgrade my mobile phone to a 21st century model! 😉
 
It's a bit of a confusing report - does it take blood samples continuously?? - how frequently? and the NHS would be continuously receiving hypo reports from mine - well, several times a week, ambulances would be on continual alert!

Or have I misunderstood the report? I am an avid fan of CGM, would love it soooo much, knowing whether its going up or down and seeing the speed of change, would change my life I think, so anything which moes the idea forward has got to be good
