I'm in that same boat. However, MM is coming out with something new shortly. I can't recall if they are still in FDA approval but they are going for a longer sensor wear as well. To the average person that may not seem like a huge benefit to wait, but in my opinion it might be. At least if you have say a 5 day wear MM and it last 2 days all the time you can call the company up and complain. Where if you have a 3 day unit and they only last 2 days they will say that's good enough of a life. While it may just be a small software change to do that, I think it's huge enough that some should wait.

Now if one is waiting for another company to come out with one, I'd say it'll be a while. And someone, FYI...the MM Guardian RT came out in December but the unit prior to that was out a few years before that (the one that just gave numbers on the display, no graphs.)
