We all know that some injections, whether pump site insertion, insulin syringe injection, and CGM sensor insertion can sometimes be and remain painful. For me that often means nicking a blood vessel. Not only does it hurt but it can also foul a site and impair a CGM sensor or a pump site. I wonder if the doctor and/or company will be willing to do a second insertion if the first one is painful.
An 8.8% MARD makes its accuracy competitive with DexCom. Anyway, this device is not yet approved for the US. If it were available today I’d wait to read at least the initial reviews.
This device requires a doctor’s office visit every 90 days. I get about 14 days for most of my Dex sensors so that would only eliminate five insertions every three months. Not sure the economics will persuade me.
