| Personally, I just don't think the idea is possible in the terms they are talking about. There are too many outside factors that just won't make it work, or if it does work, you can't eat anything that would cause a fast BG spike because it would be too fast for the CGMS half to recognize. Making one run high for 30+ minutes. That and we need a CGMS that takes readings more often than every 5 minutes so that it can do an average of say that last 5 readings before making a conclusion. I know many on current CGMS find an oddball number in there. So, that would just be more of a danger than a help in my eyes.
I'll wait out the dual drug therapy and hope progress is made with it in humans.
