Anyone use sleep sentry?
Hi,
Does anyone use Sleep Sentry (www.sleepsentry.com)?
This is a device that is strapped to the wrist. Apparently, it uses
the amount of perspiration and body temperature to detect a low blood
sugar level.
From what I have read, it is designed to be used during sleep. It
wakes up the wearer when it detects a hypo with an alarm.
It is priced quite high — around $350. I’d like to hear from people
who have used it before I buy one.
thanks

I have use a similar product and didn’t have any luck with it. My
doctor thought it would be good to have since I had been having
several hypos lately. I ordered one, a glucowatch, and was supposed
to be able to wear it for thirteen hours at a time. Then the sensor
and battery had to be changed. It wasn’t entirely accurate, and the
sensors it used caused my arm to break out. My doctor then told me
not to wear it. Oh well, it was a good thought.
