The Glucowatch, glugophones, and other continuous automatic blood testers
I have looked forward to the glucowatch for years. But I have recently decided to place this hourly automatic blood testing watch in a class with the bigfoot, the abominable snowman and goldilocks. Yeah, its a myth.
When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, more than 10 years ago, the diabetic nurse told me that there were new inventions that would make having diabetes easier. I was fascinated by the Gluco-Watch and similar devices. This device promised to contiuously monitor your blood sugar, it could give you a graph of your entire days sugar readouts, it could sound an alarm when your blood sugar went out of range when you were sleeping. It was in testing for years. It was recently renamed to the G2 Biographer. Here is some more info on the device that diabetics like me have been waiting for.
You can technically get the watch from the makers website. But it has many problems. First off, it is not intended to replace finger testing. Isn’t the entire point of me wearing this horribly ugly watch to replace having to prick my fingers? The device irritates the skin. (source) Wikipedia reports that “the GlucoWatch system is not able to cope with perspiration at the measurement site.” And… finally, “Due to these limitations and others, the product is no longer on the market.”
No we are told, that diabetics will be able to implant meters that send data to their watches, or their cellphones. These “glucophones” are not covered by insurance, require surgery for an implant, and yep you guessed it, are still in testing.
Its enough to make me think their is a conspiracy afoot. Maybe the drug companies don’t want to give up up their dollar a teststrip fortune. Or maybe a device that could measure your sugar continuously is to much to ask for.
