Sounds like you still have to calibrate by pinprick a few times a day. I'll pass.

You do. I did a bunch of reading on them this last week and you can find some thoughts I related in earlier posts from a coworker who deals with diabetes and has his own continuous insulin loop system.Sounds like you still have to calibrate by pinprick a few times a day. I'll pass.
That's also part of why I'm still invested. The CGM space is much smaller than the overall monitoring space, so if SENS can get a share of just the monitoring market they'll be in decent shape. 180 days is only twice the time of the 90 days, but going 2x a year versus every 3 months mentally feels like a tipping point in terms of whether that's deterrent to people using it.[edit]I've also read that CGM's are only important for Type-1 diabetes which is a small fraction of diabetes in the States
I'm not knowledgeable enough about the domain to say. It was announced 2.5 years ago. All I know is a press release from 2018. Maybe that's what they're hoping will power their proposed 1 year long sensor in 2023?$SENS
Do u see value in their partnership with Beta Bionics?
The only ones wanting such devices are the people that don’t need them because they already take responsibility for their health.I think when noninvasive, the CGM market could actually grow much larger.
If you can get blood glucose levels by simply looking at your watch, this might be useful to non-diabetics as well. Trying to study and control glucose levels / eating & exercise patterns can be a big thing in the health and fitness movements. These people aren't getting anything surgically implanted. TAM will be much larger.
There are more shades of grey than that. I work out 5 days a week, I eat fairly healthy, I'm a healthy weight and yet I have high blood pressure, borderline cholesterol and waiver around the pre-diabetic blood sugar level when I have blood tests each year. That's been true nearly all my adult life, even in my 30s when I was in particularly good shape. Genetics predispositions...they can suck.The only ones wanting such devices are the people that don’t need them because they already take responsibility for their health.

While I don't require diabetes meds at this point, I have done the finger pricks 2-3 times a day at times to see how my daily trend was if a yearly test was higher that year.
A non-invasive thing I could wear, at least occasionally, would be a lot better and more frequent measurement than the 1/year blood test at my doctor.
but the frequent testing doesn’t change the therapy or the outcome. You’re already living a healthy lifestyle. Due to bad luck you probably have to start medication at some time in the future. But testing twice a day doesn’t change that. Although once a year is not nearly enough, I agree.
Yes, if you’re on insulin it’s a whole different cookie. You’re absolutely right about that. But then we are talking therapy, not monitoring more or less healthy individuals. These systems exist and are very useful. Drifting a bit OT, I’m sorry.Frequent testing is EXACTLY to change the therapy (insulin dosage if on insulin, to start insulin if borderline, to decrease or stop dosage if hypoglycemic).
Simple fact: the rates of diabetic complications are significantly lower for patients on CGMs (implanted or not).

Dexcom had a superbowl ad for glucose monitoring. If there was any doubt about the value of that potential market, that's a pretty clear indicator the market is significant.
There's a few stories in the US press today about battery demand in China boosting raw material prices. Maybe that's it.Lynas (LYSCF) is up 7% in the ASX right now. This move will surely be mirrored in the US and other markets by market close tomorrow. If you want to buy into this stock, set a limit order in the morning. Prices tend to lag on this thinly traded stock.
Don’t know what is sparking this move today.
