Things are going much better with the professor. Much much better.
My diabetes care is going pretty well. I'm wearing the Medtronic Minimed Guardian Continuos Glucose Monitoring System, and it's doing an awesome job.
This is how it works; I insert a sensor inside of a 23 gauge, 1/2 inch long needle. Yeah, ouch. Then I remove the needle, wait a few minutes, and attatch a transmitter. It transmits data via radiofrequency signals to a monitor. After a calibration or a few, it translates the electrical pulses that it gets into a prediction about my blood sugar. The radio frequencies update the monitor every five minutes.
For some, the Guardian is very accurate; for most its somewhat accurate; for a few its inaccuracy renders it worthless. For me, it's been awesome. More accurate than my standard glucometers.
