Senseonics is already testing in patients a CGM with a sensor that lasts 5 months.

Let's see if someone has just finished off...

Sorry to the adins, I was error when publishing and I have done it 3 times, I don't know how to erase the other two.I'm sorry!

I am sorry to be skeptical, but as they comment on their website Link to use the system a doctor has to implement a chip under the skin (with local anesthesia), lasts 90 days (about 3 months) and then theDoctor has to make an incision to remove it and put another one, to top it off the values ​​you get are not blood glucose, but in interstitial fluid, and you also have to carry a transmitter in the arm that seems relatively bulky ...Be that it is much cheaper than the Dexcom or that covers it social security, I do not see any advantage.

I am optimistic, 4 cortechitos a year is nothing if it is "affordable", it is not necessary to calibrate it, it is accurate, it has alarms and is managed with the mobile.What subsidized the SS should be forgotten, I think.Right now I lose much longer to the nurse for reactive strips and tips of the feathers of what I would use to insert a sensor every 3 months.In the end...Let's see if things are coming to the street and we can try each one of what it seems.

I doubt that measuring in interstitial fluid is accurate, on its websIt is not necessary and that it is necessary that you put it on you and remove a doctor (to which you will have to pay to do so).Of course, I agree that these problems would be much less important if the system were affordable, and when I hope systems of this type continue to come out and with more competition on top all the batteries are put!

I think there is a great concept error with the issue of the accuracy of the "interstitial measurement."The interstitial measurement is accurate.In fact it is super accurate.But it measures that: interstitial glucose.Once that is clear, you can work with it perfectly for diabetes management.
And today the last devices are throwing Mard figures (accuracy compared to capillary glucose) that move below 10%.

As Hansolo says I agree with him.But I am wrong the most accurate as commented is Dexcom G5.
The case of introducing a chip I do not like, the 4 cortechitos if they are noticed and do not disappear, it is more, possibly over time they are noticed, a scar does not disappear so easily, it is more not disappears according to photos that are already there of that systemthat implant the chip.
