This is a LENGTHY blog of one man's experience with Medtronic's Guardian RT

I've been reading it for 15 minutes, and have barely scratched the surface

It's chronologically arranged from newest to oldest, so you might want to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and read each entry and then scroll up to the next day.

Wow that was great but I myself haven't gotten through it all. I was getting a bit jealous. Hopefully soon the insurance companies can start jumping in and covering these.

Whoa. That is incredibly overwhelming. That guy would have to be nuts nearly writing a novel every day.

I've read his blog in the past. You're right, it is a very detailed and descriptive blog...but it's interesting to read too :top:. I think he actually put an ended writing this blog, but its still on the web to check out for those interested :)

This is Awesome! It's good to see someone share their experiences with the RT. I have a friend in Canada who says it's about to be released there, so here's hoping it becomes available soon (if not already) to All. :thumbsup:

You think that is Awesome. Read Dr. Jekyll and Mrs low, (http://drjekyllandmrslow.blogspot.com/) She is in a study for the integrated continous monitor & pump.

Hmm.. I might try out that RT sooner or later anyways. I have heard it is a pain.

It was ok, but back when I did it, it was in early stages. Results could only be seen by the doctor, and the first sensor they inserted wasn't sitting right, so it had to be replaced. If that were to happen once a user gets one of their own, they're looking at rather expesnsive "mistakes." I've also had a few doctors argue its degree of accuracy, so guess I'll keep holding out for the watch-like meter.

I'd at least like to see it become available to others who have been long awaiting its arrival to the market. I also feel that MM has done plenty of testing on it, so hopefully it'll be ready soon.
