Diabetes Talking

Question:

I’ve heard about a new special monitor, called GlucoWatch, made by Cygnus Inc; from Redwood Cal; it’s a kind of watch giving continuous glucose measurement. Does it work ? what about FDA ? is it available now, and in this case, in europe and France…? thanks

Someone I know, who does much reading on Diabetic research, told me that this watch is being experimented/developed in Israel….. Karen   Letty Cottin Pogrebin….."Getting Over Getting Older: An Intimate Journey"

Response:

Regarding the Glucowatch, I am not holding my breath. You can find information on the Glucowatch at http://www.cygn.com/glucowatch.html    I recommend an article by Rick Mendosa about non-invasive blood glucose monitors at http://www.mendosa.com/painless.htm    I recommend Rick Mendosa’s diabetes website at http://www.mendosa.com   Once you get to this website, scroll down to diabetes and click on that.  There you will find a gold mine of information.
