Glucowatch Explainations

Yes, I have a glucowatch and I have blogged extensively about it. I've put most of the entries under the category Glucowatch if you want to read about my experiences.

Yes, it burns. I have two burns right now, one on each wrist, but it isn't as bad if you use the spray they recommend first, and after. It's Cortizone-10 Quick Shot spray. There is a prescription spray too. I got mine from Drugstore.com and it did take a bit to arrive.

I find it useful to verify and test basal rates.

You can not use it if you are going to sweat -- though it does work okay when I spend a few minutes in the hot tub -- I miss about 3 readings after I am in the tub.

For example, I couldn't use it at school last year, because the classroom was about 95 degrees and above, and I sweated a lot. I think I can use it now.

Like the Guardian (it shows trends, not exact readings). Also like the Guardian, the more finger stick calibrations you do the more accurate.

Comments

I need information about the glucowatch, we live in Argentina but no problem.
Where i can the glucowath and how dolares (cuanto es su valor), sabemos que aqui en argentina no se consigue pero eso no es un problema ya que tenemos amigos allĂ­ .
Thank you.

I have pricked my fingers so much I now have alot of hand pain, have had surgery to no avail and now
am told that I might have
one or more serios problems that surgery won't fix.
I thought if I had the Glucowatch it might cut down on my finger pricking some. I can't fine any sight that gives me a price of this Watch.
Can you help.
I do not sweat alot,
Thanks
Paula
