Diabetic Witterings #11 - Sibionics CGM Beta Trial

[@aresaurelian]

This is really interesting. Thank you for showing these and updates.🙂

[@writerlywitterings]

My pleasure! So far, it seems very effective. I particularly like the app that comes with it.

[@JBFire97]

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@writerlywitterings]

My pleasure!

[@bromkin]

I feel the same way about the alcohol wipes

[@writerlywitterings]

Such a tiny amount of money for something all users need. For a machine costing users £1,200 a year, the extra 24 pennies or so would make no difference to their profits.

[@ruth6965]

how many sensors are there in one pack? and do you have to throw away the applicator after use?

[@writerlywitterings]

One sensor per pack and irritatingly yes, the applicator is to be thrown away after its single use. What sort of stupidity is that? I'll be doing an update before long.

[@nacuioan2163]

Hi, how did you find the sibionics sensor. Accurate enough?

[@JohnSmith-fl5qn]

I bought two totally unreliable with differences up to 100% of the real value! in a few words, Chinese product Stay away. it's a scam. It's game changer. Indeed. For the pocket of producers.

[@writerlywitterings]

I actually did find it accurate, but I've heard a number of other people (like John Smith) who've not had good experiences. I think it's genuine, but for the same money, I'll stick with Abbot Labs, I think. I trust them more. Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines!

[@writerlywitterings]

You're not the first person I've heard say that - have to admit, I didn't have problems, but if a significant number did, well, I think I'll stick with Abbot's.

[@JohnSmith-fl5qn]

@@writerlywitterings continued 3d sensor. Bented the needle. I discovered after I pull out due to incorrect values 4th sensor. Erroneous trigger applicator. Completely inaccurate values. They deny to change it!

[@davidronson8712]

Too bad it does not come with a reader, you must have a smart phone which I do not wish to have.

[@writerlywitterings]

Yes. If you want a reader without a phone, I think you need to go to one of the US firms - Abbot or Dexcomm.

[@JohnSmith-fl5qn]

I bought two sensors. Completely unreliable with differences more than 100% of the real value! In a few words: Chinese product. Stay away. it's a scam. Don't you dare contradict me, I'll make videos with the results for people to see It's game changer. Indeed. For the pocket of producers.

[@writerlywitterings]

I didn't find it that inaccurate - but I am not convinced. Especially since the firm is charging the same as Abbot charge for a Libre. I like the Libre and trust US manufacturing more (which no doubt means they make the ruddy things in China!)

[@JohnSmith-fl5qn]

​@@writerlywitterings it is very inaccurate. Especially first 4 days. But here, Greece, abbot and libre are double priced! Any way. For me it is useless or, worst, obliged me to prink all day my fingers to check its values. Useless
