Continuous glucose monitoring

This page is for the sharing of information regarding continuous glucose monitoring devices. Since such devices are relatively new (with the first widely-used devices being approved by the FDA in March of 2006), there is a need for a way for users (and potential users) to share practical information. The technical support staff of the companies that make these devices don't know all the problems (and clever solutions) encountered by every user, and they may also be legally restricted in what they can say about off-label uses of their products.
