| | | A most remarkable blog regarding the Guardian RT
http://lifeafterdx.blogspot.com/
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. |

| | 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.

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.
