Greetings all;
As most of you know I'm a DM-II, but the recent shortage of
trulicity, a
weekly self administerd shot that helps regulate one's blood guclose
levels has got us scrambling for alternatives. So a month back I
bought
one of the so called smart watches that purports to monitor blood sugar.
"purports" appears to be the correct verb

I got a msg from our state AG warning me about these, but it was 2 days
after I had ordered this thing. Too little warning, too late, but I'm
the curios type, and this device looks good so I would like to see how
it compares with the antique finger prick model we've been using since
Hector's great grandfather was a puppy.. New tech sometimes work pretty
good while the FDA seems to try to protect old tech.
(as for the rest of the mail, I have no idea whatsoever).
