But the glucometers that work for diabetics can also help people on a diet, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts better track how their bodies are responding to food and exercise. The challenge is to design a product that would be appropriate to the Consumer market and function more as a tracker than a medical device.
Glucovation out of Carlsbad, California, a new company founded by former Dexcom engineers, has developed the SugarSenz Continuous Glucose monitor.

The company claims it will***t require calibration using blood from finger pricks. H
