What's wrong with using something new that might improve overall control?
There is a reason why these "high tech" gadgets are being made, it's for us diabetics to be able to use and learn from it. I don't see anything wrong with doing such. Just because one doesn't like the idea of "high tech" gadgets doesn't mean they should put a damper on others treatments.
In all honesty, if the "high tech" gadgets as you say were funded where you live would you stick to the same ole MDI and glucose monitors or would you give a CGMS a shot?
