I read that the watch was taken off the market because it was not pain free and gave people burn marks and rashes. It used an electrical charge to pull fluid from the skin.
I am very eager to see when they produce an acurate blood/fluid less monitor.
By the way I also heard that someone was investigating a nasal insulin delivery system. Wouldn't that be nice. | Maybe I am stepping in it here, but what about meters like the Freestyle, where you can test on your forearm or legs? I know this isn't appropriate when there is potential hypoglycemia, but my forearm readings are nearly as accurate as my finger sticks. I get more variation with my legs (sometimes can lag 30-40pts), but if I am active, my calf readings are also reliable.
These other testing sites are much less painful, and it means I will regularly test myself 5-6 times a day - which I think counterbalances the slightly less accurate readings you have off of fingersticks.
