    Released now. Test BG levels without the finger pricking. Wonder if it will be available on the NHS ? Anyone tried it ?

    That would have been a godsend when I was newly diagnosed and testing lot's of food combinations! My fingers were like a pub's dart board back then I can tell you!
    Providing the fortnightly changeable sensors were affordable (Or available on script),making one of these units available to all diabetics would end the misery of not being able to access test strips,the fear of using a lancet device that some people experience and in the long run-save the NHS a lot of much needed money as it's the strips and not the meters that are the crux of the matter.

    Unfortunately, I doubt whether most will ever see it. I fear cost will prevent it ! Shame.
