Continuous glucose monitor?

Are there any continuous glucose monitors(a device that measures your glucose every minute or so) that are impermeable and prescription free?(over the counter)Continuous glucose monitor?
nope, don't have the technology for that fairly yet. the problem is rejection by the body of a foreign goal and resulting infections.
There are devices that measure the glucose surrounded by the fluid inbetween your cells every 15 minutes.
However, none of them are over the counter, and they do call for to be covered when taking a shower.
no there is nothing yet but afford the ma few tears and they will come up with something contemporary before too Long
You can post order the Glucowatch. Any continuous monitors are solely meant for determining your own glucose cycles. They are not designed to be worn more than a few days or less due to infection and/or skin irritations.
u can find them for a trial from your doctor but they cannot be obtained over the counter or on prescrption.your doctor can with the sole purpose give you it for a small amount of time as they are only a method to see whether you are controlling it well
basically stick with the simple glucose meter and maybe ask a continouos one from ur GP every month etc
continous one are moderately a hassle though
