Hi.

'Noninvasive' Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes

Old skool way of pricking is quite tiresome.

There are also wristwatch glucose meters.

For my 70 year old mom

Any good?
Recommended?

Anything you see here is con9lan7firm fake. There are startups and prototypes doing but not one single commercial product that is properly approved yet. Don't waste your money and get false reading.

Libre is a simple applicator, just click a patch on your arm and it stays on for 14 days. but very expensive.RM180 per patch. About RM4800 per year.

Even better. Not good to prick old folks every day. The patch will last you a month. But not cheap la.

yeah. if got the money, can monitor glucose level almost real time.

IMHO, just get the tradisional lancets (or Accu-Check Soft Clix - it has adjustable strength for pricking)

don't prick her regularly, just at interval time only (suggest before breakfast)
